Majete Wildlife Reserve in Chikwawa and has served as a nature reserve since 1955, but reportedly "was a wildlife sanctuary in name only" by 2002. During the late 1970s and 1980s, charcoal burning, logging, and poaching decimated the area's wildlife, leaving few games other than antelope.

The objective of the assignment was to develop an inventory of plants of economic importance, especially those that are targeted for charcoal making.
