    Namibia Crane News 11 July 2005 National B lue crane census proposed The Namibia Crane Working Group is investigating a national Blue Crane census, to obtain an update on numbers. This proposal corresponds with the recom- mended actions from the Red Data Book account for Blue Cranes (see Namibia Crane News No. 6). The last count in December 1994 provided a total estimate of 49 adults and 11 yearlings. It will be interesting to see whether the population is still declining after the recent good rains. Ideally the census would include an aerial survey of Etosha and the grassland areas to the north, together with ground surveys. We are still deciding on the best time of year for the census, bearing in mind that we would like to pick up as many juveniles as Enthusiastic Kasika and Impalila guides out birding possible.

  • EUS Report Ok.Indd
    1 1. Background In December 2006, the Government of Botswana was informed by the Namibian Government of fish disease outbreaks in the Chobe-Zambezi River. Infected fish were first observed at Impalila Island, Namibia, by the Namibians in October 2006. Similar cases of fish infection were further seen on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River. Subsequent to this, a fish sampling team was assembled by Botswana’s Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) in mid- December 2006 to undertake surveys in the area to determine if the infection had spread to the Botswana side of the Chobe River. The findings indeed confirmed that the fish infection had spread to the Chobe River. Clinical signs of infected fish included body lesions, skin ulceration and blood patches on the body. However, no dead fish were observed in the Botswana side although reports by Zambia indicated that dead fish were seen by fishers floating in the water, especially in the Kasaya River, a tributary of the Zambezi River. After the confirmation of the occurrence of the infection in the Chobe River, water, tissue, blood and soil samples were collected for further analysis at the National Veterinary Laboratory (NVL) in Sebele, Gaborone, Botswana. A ban on fishing and fish imports from the affected areas was also instituted with immediate effect until further notice. The Government of Namibia had also imposed a fishing moratorium starting from 21 December 2006 to 28 February 2007. The results from the NVL, which concur with those of Namibia, indicated that there was a lot of faecal bacteria in the Chobe River water rendering it unsuitable for drinking.

  • Luregn Lenggenhager Nature Conservation, Development And
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Ruling nature, controlling people: nature conservation, development and war in North-Eastern Namibia since the 1920s Lenggenhager, Luregn Abstract: Recent nature conservation initiatives in Southern Africa such as communal conservancies and peace parks are often embedded in narratives of economic development and ecological research. They are also increasingly marked by militarisation and violence. In Ruling Nature, Controlling People, Luregn Lenggenhager shows that these features were also characteristic of South African rule over the Caprivi Strip region in North-Eastern Namibia, especially in the fields of forestry, fisheries and, ulti- mately, wildlife conservation. In the process, the increasingly internationalised war in the region from the late 1960s until Namibia’s independence in 1990 became intricately interlinked with contemporary nature conservation, ecology and economic development projects. By retracing such interdependencies, Lenggenhager provides a novel perspective from which to examine the history of a region which has until now barely entered the focus of historical research. He thereby highlights the enduring relevance of the supposedly peripheral Caprivi and its military, scientific and environmental histories for efforts to develop a deeper understanding of the ways in which apartheid South Africa exerted state power.

    15 David Greven Conservancies and their Impact on Livelihood and Environment: The Example of Impalila Conservancy Edited by the Cologne African Studies Centre Cologne 2018 David Greven Conservancies and their Impact on Livelihood and Environment The Example of Impalila Conservancy CULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT IN AFRICA SERIES Edited by the Cologne Africa Studies Centre Issue 15 2018 This publication was funded by the Collaborative Research Center “Future Rural Africa” (CRC/Transregio 228, funded by DFG). Preface In den vergangenen zwanzig Jahren hat sich die Ethnologie verstärkt mit den Konsequenzen und Praktiken des Umweltschutzes und Artenschutzes im Globalen Süden, insbesondere in Afrika, auseinandersetzt. Nach dem Weltgipfel von Rio 1992 haben sich Maßnahmen des Umweltschutzes deutlich gestärkt. Neben einer Erweiterung von Nationalparks und anderen Schutzgebieten, in denen menschliche Nutzung ausgeschlossen wird, nahmen besonders Gebiete zu, die entweder in gemeinschaftsbasierten Ansätzen oder auf privater Basis neue Formen des Naturschutzes implementierten. Namibia ist in dieser Hinsicht ein paradigmatischer Fall. Mittlerweile sind dort knapp 50 Prozent der Staatsfläche in Schutzmaßnahmen einbezogen. Insbesondere gemeinschaftsbasierte Ansätze haben in den vergangenen 20 Jahren rasch an Raum gewonnen. 1996 schuf die namibische Regierung ein neues Rechtsstatut, das hier in vielerlei Hinsicht eine neue Basis schuf. Das zuständige Ministerium konzedierte, dass unter bestimmten Bedingungen, Wild durch lokale Gemeinschaften genutzt werden könne. Dafür mussten folgende Maßnahmen ergriffen werden. Eine Gemeinschaft musste ein „Managementgebiet“ mit klaren Grenzziehungen definieren und die soziale Gruppe klar umreißen (eingetragene, formalisierte Mitgliedschaft), die dieses Gebiet bewirtschaftet. Zusätzlich musste eine Managementplan erstellt werden, der deutlich machte, wie Wild in den Grenzen dieser Conservancy, so der namibische terminus technicus, bewirtschaftet werden solle.

  • Local Knowledge Contestation in Caprivi's Fishery
    MSC THESIS CHAIR GROUP: FOREST AND NATURE CONSERVATION POLICY, WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY FISH NEVER FINISHES versus SHIFTING BASELINE SYNDROM Local knowledge contestation in Caprivi’s fishery management, Namibia Study programme: MSc. Forest and Nature Conservation (MFN) Author: Lisa Heider Supervisors: Dr. Paul Hebinck (Rural Development Sociology) Dr. Ir. Freerk Wiersum (Forest and Nature Conservation Policy) Thesis code: FNP-80436 FISH NEVER FINISHES versus SHIFTING BASELINE SYNDROM Local knowledge contestation in Caprivi’s fishery management, Namibia Wageningen, December 2012 Lisa Heider [email protected] II Abstract This study describes how local knowledge of fisher folk in Caprivi is contested by scientific actors from universities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the ministry and donor agents. In the attempt to increase democracy and stimulate emancipation of the rural poor, the Namibian government principally supports the concept of CBNRM in the form of communal conservancies and fishery co-management schemes. In drawing up the rules of the game for the management of natural resources by local people, their knowledge, including interests, skills, beliefs and practices, is largely marginalized by the scientific community. Local knowledge becomes selectively studied, transformed and adapted to meet globally accepted, scientific standards for conservation. Mismatches between scientific and local knowledge are inevitably culture-based and found explained in the social, cultural and political history of actors within a knowledge network. This study aims to contribute to a greater understanding of the nature of local knowledge networks in NRM, hoping to assist in the acknowledgement of unrestricted, unmodified and unconditional local knowledge in autonomous NRM. An analysis of knowledge spaces is used to investigate the diversity of knowledge axioms and culture-based interests that shape the way scientific and local networks construct knowledge, give meaning and priority to it and how it is applied in fishery management.
