A fully updated Tentative List for Malawi has been publicized this week. They have gone from 5 TWHS to 7 TWHS.
New sites added:
- Karonga Fossilised Geoheritage Landscape (a dinosaur fossil site)
- Malape Pillars Geological Heritage (visually striking landscape of sandstone columns)
- Fort Mangochi and Makanjira Historical Corridor (19th-century indigenous forts; Mangochi itself is a double, as part of the Malawi Slave Heritage Route TWHS)
Nyika NP and Vwaza Marsh have been merged into one: Nyika-Vwaza Wildlife Reserve.
The other 3 sites are continuations of previous TWHS, albeit sometimes in a slightly different form. The Malawi Slave Routes are now called "Malawi Slave Heritage Route and Dr. David Livingstone Trail" and Lake Chilwa Wetland went from a Mixed proposal to a Natural one.
As always, pictures of these new sites are welcome (via uploading through Images). There is also some help needed for finding the right locations of some of them, see this forum post.
