Abstract:

The work is an exploration of the legal, biodiversity and economic aspects of the Private Game Reserves (PGRs) sector in Namibia. The Legal aspects looked at provisions contained within the Nature Conservation Ordinance 4 of 1975 in terms of PGRs and the implications thereof. The legal aspects also investigated the interaction of PGR and relevant government policies and programmes in terms of the efficient development or functioning of each. The Biodiversity work looked at the implications of PGRs on biodiversity conservation in Namibia as well as the appropriate policy developments needed to enhance their conservation role. Finally the Economic work analyzed the profitability of the sector as well as their impact on the tourism economy.
