First sighting of African wild dogs in Malawi national park in more than 10 years
Reported byMongabay ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Four African wild dogs were spotted in Kasungu National Park in Malawi on July 17, 2026, the first confirmed sighting in more than a decade. The dogs travelled approximately 300 kilometers from South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, signaling ecosystem recovery and successful transboundary conservation corridors.
The population is small and movement patterns are not fully understood; ongoing monitoring will be essential to assess whether this marks a sustained return.
