Laptops donated to Lilongwe Wildlife Centre

Category: Lilongwe Wildlife Centre | Date: Feb 09 2009 | By: bornfree

Born Free is delighted to have taken receipt of two laptops generously refurbished by the Green Standards Trust, having become obsolete at ICI. Green Standards provides businesses with an environmentally-friendly alternative to landfill when such items are no longer wanted, and after being handed over to Born Free last week, the laptops are now winging their way to Malawi to help support the vital work of the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre.

The laptops will be an invaluable resource for the field researchers currently monitoring a troop of rehabilitated baboons released into Kusungu National Park before Christmas. Data on the baboons’ behaviour and adaptability to their new-found freedom will be recorded in a format that can easily be transmitted back to the Wildlife Centre for analysis and dissemination. With more releases of other rescued primates planned for 2009, this equipment that had outlived its use in one context, is already serving a new purpose for the protection of wildlife in Malawi.
