Liwonde National Park’s newly renovated environmental education centre has become an epicentre of sharing knowledge and growing love of nature, especially among children in school.
African Parks, who manage the tourist attraction in partnership with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, reopened the centre in 2024 with a renewed look and purpose.
The centre delivers environmental education to schoolchildren immersed in camp sessions, communities gathering for discussions and groups engaging in media presentations and workshops.
These numbers reflect a strong commitment to ensuring that the 113 schools surrounding the park and the communities they serve have access to meaningful environmental education.
In addition, environmental education programmes are run and wildlife clubs started in the villages, creating environmental awareness at scale amongst Malawi’s schoolchildren.
