Why is this important?
Namibia is home to biodiversity hot spots in the south, the largest free-roaming population of black rhino in the world, and as part of KAZA, the largest population of elephants left on earth. These are just a few examples of the wealth of biodiversity protected in our country.
Yet landscape fragmentation and degradation caused by unplanned development and conflicting land-use interests have negatively impacted wildlife populations. While good progress had been made during the decades since independence to address these impacts, in recent years an extended, severe drought, a poaching onslaught, ever-growing human development needs, and increased human-wildlife conflict resulted in increased pressure on natural resources.
We recognize the threats from pollution and climate change to Namibia's marine ecosystem and will build programmatic support to work with our partners to address these and other challenges.
WWF aims to address these demands through inclusive conservation and the development of green economy pathways, while tackling conservation conflicts by focusing on WWF’s three global strategic areas – habitat, species, and footprint.
