Why is this important?

Inclusive conservation requires an enabling environment that includes favourable policy, an active, capable, and vibrant community of practice, and a society that recognises the opportunities presented by wildlife and wild places.

This process begins with sharing information on pressing environmental issues, such as climate change, wildlife crime and unsustainable development with national and international stakeholders and partners while at the same time, gaining a greater understanding of the opportunities presented to Namibia and KAZA as we strive for a vibrant “green and blue economy.”

As WWF Namibia expands its programmatic impact, it is critical to invest in our operations and team who make this possible.

Despite reduced funding for civil society and NGOs, and the challenges of doing more with less, an enabling environment for conservation needs to be restored and a new joint conservation movement needs to be developed. The combination will contribute to the protection of the environment, pride in conservation successes, and sustainable human development.
