Bush encroachment is severely hampering the red meat industry of Namibia and it is also negatively affecting biodiversity and the recharging tempos of certain aquifers. More than 26 million hectares of Namibian rangelands and savannah has been degraded by encroacher bush. There is a considerable market demand for biomass in the world and the use of waste wood or unwanted woody biomass has become a sought after commodity, mainly because of its low to positive impact on the environment when used as a heat source. The removal of encroaching bush from the Namibian rangelands would not only be regarded as an attempt to restore the savannah and its biodiversity, it would also be advantages to the subsurface water resources of affected areas. It is therefore important that methods to economically harvest biomass from encroaching bush need to be highlighted and documented. The purpose of this assignment is thus to compile a Compendium or abbreviated reference document for farmers, companies and groups looking to invest in their debushing capacities. The Consultants' primary aim is therefore to pay special attention to harvesting methods of encroacher bush at tempos which could economically produce clean and chipped biomass yielding from a few tonnes per day up to 100 and more tonnes per day from a single "harvesting train" of equipment.
