It presents the latest available statistics and trends on environmental resource availability; resource use; waste resulting from resource use; as well as associated disasters that may occur as a result of the use. The United Nations Framework for Development of Environment Statistics guided the production of this Report. The report covers Energy; Water; Forestry; Wildlife; and Waste. Information presented in this report is vital for evidence based environmental planning and management. It also provides a basis for monitoring progress towards the attainment of Vision 2036 and the Sustainable Development Goals. Secondary data was used in the production of the Report, most notably from the Department of Primary Health; Department of Water and Sanitation; Water Utilities Corporation; Department of Energy; Department of Forestry and Range Resources; and Department of Wildlife and National Parks. I wish to recognise these stakeholders for the collaboration and the immense input they made. I remain grateful for the invaluable contributions towards the preparation of this Report. For more information and further enquiries, contact the Directorate of Stakeholder Relations at 3671300. All Statistics Botswana outputs are available on the website at www.statsbots.org.bw, and at Statistics Botswana Information Resource Centre (Head Office, Gaborone). ____________________ Dr Burton S.
