Some details of records of nests, eggs and nestlings of 167 (possibly 168) species in the bird collection at Lubango, Angola are given. This includes 23 species for which there were no Angolan breeding records at all, and one possibly new breeding species (Slaty Egret). The data also confirm the breeding of another 20 species strongly suspected of breeding in Angola, but that lacked egg or nestling records. KEYWORDS: Angola, birds, museum collections, breeding.

10 Existing Water Use
Chapter10 Existing Water Use CHAPTER 10 EXISTING WATER USE 10.1 Current Water Use and Supply Systems 10.1.1 Villages Village centres are supplied with water by Namwater, and are called “Bulk Customer” and operate on a contract basis with a memorandum of agreement being exchanged. Village councils are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the feeder pipeline network as well as water supply in the villages. To maintain the facilities water fees from N$2.35 to N$2.96 /m3 are charged to beneficiaries which are composed of village centers, commercial farms and communal land which operate irrigation, livestock and tourism activities (refer to Table 10.1-1 and Chapter 9). However, it is reported that the fee collection ratio is not 100 %. Using the latest monthly abstraction data in the eight village centres, the total water use volume of about 562,000 m3/year is estimated in Table 10.1-2.

The Botanical Exploration of Angola by Germans During the 19Th and 20Th Centuries, with Biographical Sketches and Notes on Collections and Herbaria
Blumea 65, 2020: 126–161 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/blumea.2020.65.02.06 The botanical exploration of Angola by Germans during the 19th and 20th centuries, with biographical sketches and notes on collections and herbaria E. Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S. -

Inventory of Heritage Resources in the Hardap Region
INVENTORY OF HERITAGE RESOURCES IN THE HARDAP REGION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE OF PROJECT The National Heritage Council of Namibia has a national mandate of identifying places and objects of heritage significance in the country. In this regard the National heritage council seeks to address the imbalances that are apparent in the national heritage register through identifying heritage places and objects that fit in the broad definition of heritage that was adopted after the National Monuments Act 29 or 1969 was repealed and replaced by the National Heritage Council Act 27 of 2004. The following inventory of cultural and natural heritage sites in the Hardap and Karas Regions was developed in response to the need of updating the national heritage register and including sites and objects whose categories were formerly not catered for in the National Monuments Council Act (1969). 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1 Research Design Identification of cultural and natural heritage sites in the Hardap and Karas Region followed a combination of methodologies and inclusive approaches which comprised of scoping (the determination of the extent of the site and what may be performed), desktop and archival research, consultations with local communities and field work. A systematic approach that focuses on a particular district at a time will be followed in identifying the heritage sites. 2.2 Desktop Analysis An in-depth review of existing primary and secondary literature (including unpublished reports, travelogues of early travellers and diaries of missionaries) from southern Namibia was carried out very early in the research. Existing databases from among others, NGO’s, private holdings, the National Museum of Namibia, National Heritage Council and the National Archives of Namibia were consulted. -
