Cover Photo: FOREWORD National parks are a vital tool for conserving Namibia’s essential biodiversity. By managing parks, their irreplaceable assets and unlimited potential will be conserved for future generations. In addition, every year Namibia’s National Parks draw large numbers of tourists, generating employment and stimulating development nationwide. National Parks also provide unique opportunities to benefit local communities through rural development while providing research, education and recreation opportunities. One of the protected areas in Namibia is the Skeleton Coast National Park. The name Skeleton Coast suggests a dramatic history and difficult conditions for human survival. These qualities make the park an attractive destination for eco-tourists. Similarly, its fine angling reputation attracts large numbers of fishermen from southern Africa and elsewhere. Altogether it is an area of international significance, set within a larger transboundary landscape that covers the length of the Namib Desert. This management plan sets out the objectives and guidelines for the management and development of the Skeleton Coast National Park.

    ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ON EXCLUSIVE PROSPECTING LICENCE EPL4185 AT WLOTZKASBAKEN January 2013 Prepared by: Gecko Namibia (Pty) Ltd Gecko House 8 Sinclair Road Windhoek, Namibia Reviewed by: Nam Enviro Management and Training Services cc Mutjinde Katjiua SUMMARY Gecko Namibia (Pty) Ltd, in the name of its subsidiary Gecko Salt (Pty) Ltd holds EPL4185 which covers 75,335 hectares of coastal desert plains from north of Swakopmund to just south of the Henties Bay peri-urban area. Gecko intends to establish the “Vision Industrial Park” and harbour within the area. The development will require a large amount of fine and coarse aggregate material as well as armour stone for the construction of a breakwater facility. Besides the envisaged VIP development, Gecko is in the process of exploring a number of high-grade marble occurrences on this EPL. As part of the EPL4185 falls within the Dorob National Park, Gecko is submitting this EIA together with Environmental Questionnaires and other prescribed documentation in application for an Environmental Clearance Certificate under the Environmental Management Act of 2007. The company has drawn up an Environmental Management Plan for the prospecting operations and is currently in the process of implementing those measures. Management and exterior control on the adherence of the proposed mitigation actions are considered important tools in preventing negative environmental impacts from the operations. Activities during the exploration phase include sampling, testing and exploratory drilling. The activities are temporary and are conducted at a small scale than those at the drilling/development, production, and decommissioning/reclamation phases.

  • Namibia, Okavango & Victoria Falls Overland I 2017
    Namibia, Okavango & Victoria Falls Overland I 4th to 21st March 2017 (18 days) Trip Report Burchell’s Sandgrouse by Gareth Robbins Trip report by compiled by tour leader: Gareth Robbins Tour photos by Judi Helsby and Gareth Robbins Trip Report – RBL Namibia, Botswana & Zambia - Overland I 2017 2 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Tour Summary Our first day of the tour started in Namibia’s capital city, Windhoek. After breakfast, a few of us headed out and birded along some of the acacia thickets just outside of the hotel we were staying at. After two and a half hours of birding, we managed to get a good species count, considering the time spent. Some of the bird highlights we witnessed included Cardinal Woodpecker, Rosy-faced Lovebird, Barred Wren-Warbler, Diederik Cuckoo and Swallow-tailed Bee-eater. By lunchtime, the entire group had arrived and we went to visit Joe’s Beer House, which was on the way to our first official stop of the tour. During lunch, the rain started to pour down and it continued as we made our way to Avis Dam; thankfully, by the time we had arrived, the rain had stopped. One of the first birds to greet us was the beautiful Crimson-breasted Shrike, and in the distance, we could see one African Fish Eagle. At the edge of the car park, we had a good number of acacia- dwelling species arrive, such as Pririt Batis, Yellow-bellied Eremomela, Long-billed Crombec, Ashy Tit, Acacia Pied Barbet, and a Shaft-tailed Whydah. As we walked along the Pririt Batis by Gareth Robbins dam wall, we saw Greater Striped Swallows, House and Rock Martins, African Palm Swifts and Little and White- rumped Swifts too! The dam itself had filled up nicely with all the late rain and, due to this, we managed to get a look at South African Shelduck, Red-knobbed Coots, Red-billed Teal, Black- necked Grebes, as well as a Wood Sandpiper and a few Cape Wagtails.

In 1978, its administration was transferred to the local SWA Administration by Proclamation AG 1/1978. Its legal basis before 1969 and the details of its administrative functioning remain to be researched, and could not be considered for this findaid. Owing to the pressing need to have a findaid available, it is being released without the relevant administrative detail information. A predecessor of the National Monuments Council was the Historical Monuments Commission. Some records of the Historical Monuments Commission are available in private accessions at the National Archives: • A.23 - C.J.C. Lemmer • A.125 - Historical Monuments Commission • A.240 - F. Gaerdes • A.769 - Lemmer Collection (Findaid 2/101) Additional material concerning the work of the National Monuments Council can be found in the following private accessions: • A.664 - P.Petzold’s work in the National Monuments Council • A.723 - National Monuments (Colour slides by Andreas Vogt) With the passing of the Heritage Act (Act no.27 of 2004), the National Monuments Council was superseded by the National Heritage Council.
