It is important for NVT to share news with its supporters – to update them on our activities and to keep them abreast of other conservation activities and concerns in Malawi. We do this through three channels – our lecture evening, newsletter and via this website.

This year our speaker will be Dr Jamie MacCallum, UK Director of the Peace Parks Foundation.

NVT Event 16 October 2025- 6.30pm at the Union Jack Club, London SE1
Our speaker was Jonny Hanson, former trustee of NVT UK and an environmental social scientist who is studying whether we could and whether we should share our landscapes with apex predators such as lynx, wolves
and bears. His book on that subject has just been published.
Jonny had many fascinating experiences to share. He set up and managed Northern Ireland’s first community farm. He was raised between Malawi and Ireland, and has a PhD in snow leopard conservation from the University of Cambridge. And he is developing his own conservation gin brand called Malawi Mountain© Gin.
In addition there was a short update on Nyika-Vwaza UK Trust activities and time after Jonny’s talk to network with old and new friends with an interest in Malawi.
