Nsefu Wildlife's Anti-Poaching Patrol Boat "The Spirit of Demian" Launched!

Remembering Max Demian Wallace

On March 14th, the Nsefu Team launched our first dedicated Anti-Poaching Patrol boat, The Spirit of Demian. The boat is named after our Co-Founder’s son, Max Demian Wallace. Demian was an important part of the local community and helped run the Zikomo Lodge and helped to get Nsefu Wildlife Conservation Foundation off the ground.

We’d like to thank Parklane International School and friend of Nsefu Tammy Rimes for their generous donation that made the purchase of the boat possible.

A message from our Co-Founder, Coe Lewis…

“The name The Spirit of Demian captures the essence of the man himself. The loss of our Co-founder Victory Wallace's son was a loss to us all. Larger than life, the character you never forget, and a passionate human who lived life to the very fullest no matter how tough it got...Demian was a bright comet racing through our lives. It was Demian's compassion, commitment, and love for Zambia that embodies everything our foundation stands for. The NWCF patrol boat could ONLY be named "The Spirit of Demian" because he is our spiritual guide...protecting wildlife and protecting the team for the future. May she sail with success saving wildlife wherever she goes!”
