National Ecosystem Assessment UNAM University of Namibia USEPA United States Environmental Protection Agency WHS World Heritage Site 9 Foreword Namibia's second National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP ll) aims for Namibia's biodiversity to be healthy and resilient to threats, and for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity to be key drivers of poverty alleviation and equitable economic growth. The need to mainstream biodiversity across all levels of Government and society is recognised as a cornerstone of NBSAP II and a key strategy for addressing the underlying causes of biodiversity loss in the country. The valuation of ecosystem services is an integral part of mainstreaming as it serves to inform decision-makers and the public at large about the values of biodiversity so that it can be better integrated into national and sectoral policymaking, planning, budgeting and decision-making frameworks of both the public and private sector.

  • Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Semi-Arid Regions of Southern Africa
    Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Semi-Arid Regions of Southern Africa 1 About ASSAR Working Papers This series is based on work funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) through the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA). CARIAA aims to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods in three climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia. The program supports collaborative research to inform adaptation policy and practice. Titles in this series are intended to share initial findings and lessons from research and background studies commissioned by the program. Papers are intended to foster exchange and dialogue within science and policy circles concerned with climate change adaptation in vulnerability hotspots. As an interim output of the CARIAA program, they have not undergone an external review process. Opinions stated are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the policies or opinions of IDRC, DFID, or partners. Feedback is welcomed as a means to strengthen these works: some may later be revised for peer-reviewed publication.

  • “With Their Backs to the Wall … They Were Fighting Like the Cornered Mongoose”: Contextualizing Kalahari San Violence and Warfare Historically Mathias Guenther*
    Journal of Namibian Studies, 16 (2014): 7 – 45 “With their backs to the wall … they were fighting like the cornered mongoose”: Contextualizing Kalahari San violence and warfare historically Mathias Guenther* Abstract The title’s epigram derives from Namibian colonial writings on the San and frames the substance of the paper. Its depiction of the !Kung as intensely violent and bellicose resonates with and is frequently referenced by contemporary writings on the allegedly bred-in-the-bone disposition for war and violence of not only the San but of hunter- gatherers and humans in general. The accuracy of colonial accounts on the San as instances of ethnographic reportage is examined revealing a number of shortcomings, prime among them the hyperbole and projection of their authors’ preconceived notions derived from the Zeitgeist of colonial settler society. The paper also contextualizes the violence that was perpetrated by some of the San peoples of colonial Namibia (and neighbouring Botswana). The context was one of political turmoil and upheaval deriving from the presence of intrusive settlers. This politicized and even militarized some of the indigenous San population, undermining a peace- prone pattern of sociality marked by egalitarianism and sharing. * * * Let us accompany the Bushmen on their warpath.1 A fight has erupted between two bands over a head of killed game, at which the losing party had to abandon the field, * Mathias Guenther, Professor Emeritus, Department of Anthropology, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, has conducted ethnographic and ethnohistorical work (since 1968) among San of the north-western Kalahari, specifically the Naro and =Au//eisi of Ghanzi in western Botswana.
