The assessment was commissioned by the Nam-Place Project as one of seven SEA assessments of the tourism sector within Namibian landscapes. The Landscapes concept establishes large scale networks of protected landscapes and in doing so address threats to habitat and species loss on a broader scale thus ensuring greater responsiveness to variability and seasonality issues around climate change. The strategic environmental assessment of tourism undertook consultations, reviewed the existing literature and legal framework and visited the Greater Waterberg Landscape. These were undertaken between August and November 2013. Two separate consultative meetings were held with members of the Landscape Committee, one to establish issues and concerns and another as feedback and to rank and assign responsibilities to proposed actions. The Landscape covers 19 200 km2 of the semi-arid savanna in the eastern-central area of Namibia. The landscape falls within the Otjozondjupa Region. By far the greatest part (~85 %) of the landscape lies on communal land, comprising the four conservancy areas of Okamatapati, Otjituuo, Ozonahi and African Wild Dog. There are also two commercial conservancies. The Waterberg Plateau Park makes up only 2.1 % of the landscape. The remaining 13 % of the landscape is farmland, mostly freehold.
