Nine push bikes and 66 bags of charcoal were confiscated by Choma Conservation Committee members with support from Forestry Department.
Deforestation in Malawi is huge, an area of forest the size of a football pitch is cut down every 10 minutes. We run a Forest Conservation project empowering local communities to take ownership of their forests and set up local forest conservation committees. Together with Forestry Department they can patrol the forested hills and reduce illegal activity such as the charcoal trade.
