WESM has been dedicated to protecting MalawiÕs remarkable diversity of animals and habitats for over 60 years. Strictly non-profit, we rely on donations from individuals and businesses in Malawi and from around the world to fund our work.THE FIGHT AGAINST ILLEGAL POACHING Each year, thousands of animals are killed illegally in MalawiÕs National Parks. WESM has instituted an anti-poaching scheme, to support the National Parks game wardens and help combat illegal poaching. A bounty is paid for each snare recovered and destroyed, and a further bounty is paid for any arrests and convictions of poachers. The Blantyre branch of WESM offers this reward in Lengwe, Michiru, Kasaungu, and Nyika National Parks. Last year alone, more than 1600 snares have been recovered and destroyed, along with 150 arrests and convictions for poaching and similar crimes.
