The Wildlife Action Group, founded in 1994, is a non-governmental, non-profit organization, working in nature conservation and management in Malawi. Its main objectives are to protect Malawi's wildlife and environment, and to assist and support the Malawi Government in the protection of National Parks, game and forest reserves. W.A.G.'s first main project is the Thuma Forest Reserve Eco-system Rehabilitation Project which started in 1996. With its straight forward approach of conservation, W.A.G. has managed to turn this once heavily poached reserve into a safe haven for wildlife in the region, with current elephant densities only second after Liwonde N.P.. W.A.G.'s second main project is the Dedza-Salima Forest Reserve Eco-system Rehabilitation Project which started in 2007. Through this project W.A.G. is determined to achieve the same positive conservation results in Dedza-Salima F.R. as has been achieved in Thuma F.R..
