Although the Mount Mulanje Forest Reserve has been officially protected since 1927, severe deforestation and degradation have taken place.
This has had a direct effect on the disappearance or sharp decline of species like the Mulanje Cedar tree and the Mulanje chameleon, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
The reserve will be restored with two types of forests – montane and miombo. Alternative job opportunities and sustainable livelihood schemes created for the thousands of families living around it.
3.4 million hectares or a third of Malawi used to be covered with forests. Today, 65% of that has already been cleared, a tenth of which in the last 10 years alone.
