Malawi is the current name for the former British protectorate of Nyasaland. Malawi's wildlife consists largely of savannah with various low-growth vegetation such as shrubs and various grasses. Much of Malawi's forest has been cleared to make way for farmland. The uplands are covered with low grasses, heaths and moorlands.
