Exact Editions is pleased to announce that, in partnership with the East African Wild Life Society, the digital edition of its quarterly title will now be available to individuals and institutions. 

Suitable for readers interested in conservation & biodiversity, subscribers will gain access to a fully-searchable modern archive of Swara Magazine which will grow with each issue added, and is available seamlessly across web, iOS and Android devices.

First published in 1959 as the Wild Life, Swara Magazine is widely considered to be the ‘voice of conservation’ in East Africa. The publication — Swara, the Kiswahili word for the impala, a large antelope of the Africa plains — aims to create a collaborative space for snaring information, enabling useful connections, and stimulate better public understanding and debate. Its prestigious contributors report on the complex issues and solutions in 21st century wildlife and habitat management alongside award-winning photography.

East African Wild Life Society (EAWLS) is a membership-based non governmental conservation organisation founded in 1956 through the merger of Kenyan and Tanzanian Wildlife Societies and wildlife enthusiasts in Ughanda. It prides itself on being the voice of conservation in the East African region and champions the conservation and prudent use of the environment and natural resources in East Africa.

“We are thrilled to have collaborated with Exact Editions to create such a smart-looking collection of digital issues that can be so easily accessed for both general interest and research purposes.”
