  • Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis Ssp
    Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis ssp. angolensis) Appendix 1: Historical and recent geographic range and population of Angolan Giraffe G. c. angolensis Geographic Range ANGOLA Historical range in Angola Giraffe formerly occurred in the mopane and acacia savannas of southern Angola (East 1999). According to Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo (2005), the historic distribution of the species presented a discontinuous range with two, reputedly separated, populations. The western-most population extended from the upper course of the Curoca River through Otchinjau to the banks of the Kunene (synonymous Cunene) River, and through Cuamato and the Mupa area further north (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). The intention of protecting this western population of G. c. angolensis, led to the proclamation of Mupa National Park (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). The eastern population occurred between the Cuito and Cuando Rivers, with larger numbers of records from the southeast corner of the former Mucusso Game Reserve (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). By the late 1990s Giraffe were assumed to be extinct in Angola (East 1999). According to Kuedikuenda and Xavier (2009), a small population of Angolan Giraffe may still occur in Mupa National Park; however, no census data exist to substantiate this claim. As the Park was ravaged by poachers and refugees, it was generally accepted that Giraffe were locally extinct until recent re-introductions into southern Angola from Namibia (Kissama Foundation 2015, East 1999, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). BOTSWANA Current range in Botswana Recent genetic analyses have revealed that the population of Giraffe in the Central Kalahari and Khutse Game Reserves in central Botswana is from the subspecies G.

  • Gaining Insights Into the Secret Lives of Wild Animals
    CONSERVATION NAMIBIA Magazine Blog Conservancies Videos Factsheets Publications © Africat Foundation Gaining Insights into the Secret Lives of Wild Animals By Namibian Chamber of Environment This article is based on a wildlife tracking symposium organised the Ministry of Environment and Tourism supported by the Namibian Chamber of Environment and the Namibian University of Science and Technology, with funding from B2Gold. A number of the workshop attendees reviewed the article and provided insights, photographs and information. If you have had the privilege of spending plenty of time watching wildlife in Africa’s wilderness areas, it is likely that you have spotted an animal wearing a collar. In the context of a safari in the wilderness the presence of a clunky leather collar around the neck of a majestic lion or elephant may seem out of place and even jarring, as it reminds us that man’s impact on the environment extends right into the lives of individual animals. This may leave you wondering: why are collars necessary? What benefit do the animals get from humans catching and collaring them? What information do scientists get from these devices, and how is it used? The basic reason for attaching a tracking device to an animal (not all devices are collars) is to find out where animals go and what they do across the landscape. These devices either send their location directly to the researchers’ computers via satellites, or store this information until they are retrieved and the data points are downloaded. Although one could try to find out where animals go by following them day and night, come rain or shine, such an effort would require enormous amounts of time to gather enough information to be useful for answering scientific questions.

Namibia’s other large carnivores, namely leopards, lions, Wild Dogs, brown and spotted hyenas, are not, however, believed to make up such a large percentage of the world’s population even though they also all occur in the unique farmland ecosystem. It is the inevitable conflict with humans on commercial and communal farmland that created the necessity for the establishment of the AfriCat Foundation. Habitat loss is one of the largest threats to the large carnivore populations in Namibia. Over 7,000 commercial livestock and game farms cover approximately 355,000 km² and communal land covers an estimated area of 125,000 km² of Namibia’s total 825,418 km².

  • The Republic of Namibia Giraffe Conservation Status Report
    Country Profile The Republic of Namibia Giraffe Conservation Status Report Sub-region: Southern Africa General statistics Size of country: 825,418 km² Size of protected areas / percentage protected area coverage: >16% in national parks (>36% including community conservancies) (Sub)species Angolan giraffe – Giraffa camelopardalis angolensis South African giraffe – Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa (only in Susuwe area of Bwabwata National Park) Conservation Status IUCN Red List (IUCN 2012): Giraffa camelopardalis (as a species) – Least concern Giraffa camelopardalis angolensis – not assessed In Namibia: In Namibia, giraffe is one of ten species that are classified by the Ministry of Environment & Tourism (MET) as specially protected under Schedule 3 of No.4 of 1975 Nature Conservation Ordinance (Government of Namibia 1975). This classification does not limit hunting of giraffe, but rather requires hunters to obtain specific hunting permits from the Namibian Government before a licence is granted. Issues/threats Although the Republic of Namibia (known as South West Africa until 1990 and referred to as Namibia in this report) is one of the only countries in the world that addresses conservation as well as the protection of its natural resources directly in its constitution, conservation efforts in the country still face several challenges (Government of Namibia, 1990). Key threats to the successful conservation and management of biodiversity in Namibia include the impacts of continued population growth, consumption and production patterns, unsustainable land management practices, uncontrolled mining and prospecting, illegal hunting, human wildlife conflict and the effects of climate change (UNCBD 2010). The absence of adequate land use planning and the low status and capacity of both the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) and the Directorate of Forestry (DoF) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry (MAWF) threatens biodiversity and conservation efforts throughout Namibia (USAID 2010).
