The "Biodiversity Economy in selected Landscapes" (Biodiversity Economy project), in cooperation with the Namibian Ministry of Environment Forestry and Tourism (MEFT), aims to develop the biodiversity economy at landscape level in Namibia. Previous projects such as Strengthening Protected Areas Network (SPAN) and Namibia Protected Areas Landscape Conservation Areas Initiative (NAMPLACE) fostered cooperation and collaborative conservation between different conservation areas, particularly in communal areas adjacent to parks. With National Parks as anchor points, it will look to identify potential enterprises and livelihoods and support increased benefits from these. The project also aims to supports building capacity and research in the biodiversity economy through an increased focus on valuing ecosystem services within landscapes and realizing their true value. Through extensive engagement of stakeholders throughout Namibia during the preceding GIZ funded Resource Mobilisation for Biodiversity Conservation in Namibia (ResMob) project the baseline situation for the Biodiversity Economy in Selected Landscapes (this project) was already identified, but not formally assessed. Four key landscapes form part of the project, and they formed the basis of this assessment. They are: i) The Etosha West and South Landscape; ii) The Ombonde People's Landscape; iii) The Waterberg Landscape; and iv) The Geopark/Brandberg Landscape, as the core of Namibia's bid to establish a World Heritage Geopark.
