In November last year, 26 Ambassadors, High Commissioners, and Honorary Consuls united to share a message of support for Malawi’s efforts to combat illegal wildlife trade, and remind all foreign nationals of the extent of Malawi’s laws on wildlife crime.

The billboards have been funded by GIZ and the space kindly donated by ADL.
