As an environmentalist, it's unfortunate to nominate this but my searches at News, Books, browsers and Highbeam simply found some passing mentions so at best it's only locally best know but here we are at AfD for some insight. In case they're not watching and aware of this AfD, I'm notifying environmentalist Velella who may have som insight and also past users Melcous, Rhododendrites, UY Scuti, Larsona and 220 of Borg for their input.

- Keep and Rename - Worth noting that the Trust is more or less synonymous with its "Lilongwe Wildlife Centre". It's Malawi's only wildlife sanctuary, so other useful searches could be "malawi 'wildlife sanctuary'" and the like. It's clearly the more notable subject, so a rename is in order. Sources: There's a 9 minute CNN clip and article about it, also Daily Mail, Belfast Telegraph, Coastweek.com, The Dodo, The Independent (archive link), Cyprus Mail (via HighBeam), Lonely Planet, El Pais, Africa Geographic, Bnltimes, The Dodo again, Daily Post, and winner of Metro's Responsible Tourism Awards 2011 in category "Best For Conservation Of Wildlife and Habitats" (this is not itself in depth coverage, but seemed worth mentioning along with the rest). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Weak Keep It's obvious that this page is written like an advertisement for the organization, but as noted above there is actual coverage about it. ~ Preceding post created by larsona //Talk// 19:25, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
