This assessment was commissioned by the Nam-Place Project as one of seven strategic environmental assessments (SEAs) of the tourism sector within Namibian landscapes. The Landscape concept establishes large scale networks of protected landscapes. In doing so it addresses threats to habitat and species loss on a broader scale, thus ensuring greater responsiveness to variability and seasonality issues around climate change. The SEA for the Mudumu tourism sector comprised consultations, a review of the existing literature and legal framework and a visit to the Mudumu Protected Landscape Conservation Area (MPLCA). These activities were undertaken between June 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 MPLCA is located in Namibia's Zambezi Region. The area has a tropical climate averaging 550-600 mm/year rainfall. The landscape comprises a mixture of state land (parks) and communal land (conservancies and community forests), covering a total area of approximately 4 600 km2. Through the creation of this PLCA, the three national parks of Nkasa Rupara, Mudumu and (the eastern portion of ) Bwabwata are linked together, with the conservancy areas and communal forest areas serving as critical corridors providing migration and movement routes for wildlife. The landscape falls within the large Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA).
