Economic and financial incentives for wildlife use on private land in Namibia and the implications for policy
Legislative changes which bestowed custodial user rights over wildlife on private commercial landholders have resulted in increased wildlife stocks on commercial land. A measurable amount of land in these areas (mostly land that receives low rainfall and is marginal for livestock production) has been converted from livestock production to wildlife use. Use of wildlife on private ranches has generally developed as a supplementary activity to livestock production but a small, but increasing number of properties are devoted purely to wildlife production.
