Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On April 20, 2018, Ambassador Wang donated two small drones to the Malawi Department of Animal and Plant Protection to support wildlife conservation, combat poaching, and to commemorate World Wildlife Day. Malawi Mining Minister Masi and Ambassador Wang attended the event and delivered speeches. More than 500 people attended, including Kuchedwa, Director General of the Department of Animal and Plant Protection, government officials, representatives of schools and nearby people. The UAV donated by China is technologically advanced and fully functional, and it is intended to further enhance the anti-poaching and wildlife research capabilities of Malawians.
