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.

Altogether 240 563 tourists visited the Administration's game reserves and resorts during 1979, in comparison to 319 785 during 1978, which was a record year. The decrease of 79 222 visitors (24, 7%) can be attributed to the political and fuel situation. These factors especially affected visitors from the R. S. Ambers decreased from 112 110 in 1978 to 55 479 in 1979, which represents a decrease of 51%. There was a decrease of 12% in visitors from S. W. A. and 6% in visitors from overseas.

Poaching remains a headache. Illegal hunting on roads and mainly during the night is becoming a major problem. Even cattle are being shot and, in many cases, only the hindquarters and loins are removed. The Nature Conservation Division and the S. A. Police have been co-operating closely and in some cases the aid of property owners was also enlisted. Regardless of heavy fines and the confiscation of rifles and other accessories, no reduction in poaching activities is apparent.
