Biodiversity Protection

Safeguarding Malawi’s rich natural heritage for present and future generations.

Malawi’s ecosystems are home to diverse plant and animal species that sustain livelihoods, provide food security, and preserve cultural identity. Yet, biodiversity faces increasing threats from deforestation, mining, land degradation, unsustainable farming, and climate change. At NRJN, we recognize that protecting biodiversity is not only about conserving species but also about ensuring the resilience of communities who depend on natural resources.
