This archive of reports of wildlife surveys in Namibia aims to:
Public access to information is a vital component of ensuring community engagement in prevalent issues. Wildlife surveys are critical to determine the health of wildlife populations and determine trends over time to guide conservation and management actions.
Wildlife surveys are done for different species using methods that are suited to counting them (e.g. by air or road) in their natural habitats. Such surveys need to be repeated over time to detect long-term trends and inform conservation managers. The Namibian government, non-governmental organisations and private reserves all conduct regular surveys covering different parts of Namibia and targeting different species. This archive will thus serve as a repository of our collective knowledge of the trends and status of a variety of species occurring throughout Namibia.

Aerial surveys of the centra] and eastern areas of the Etosha National Park were undertaken during September 1968, April 1969 and February 1970, primarily to establish the efficacy of an aeroplane in counting the larger mammals in the Park and to obtain some idea of the numbers and distribution of the various populations. Previous census methods such as road strip counts and waterhole counts were found inaccurate, unreliable and often impractical in Etosha.
