The World Wildlife Fund Namibia (WWF) initiated this rapid systematic conservation plan (SCP) or conservation prioritization plan for the Zambezi and Kavango East Regions of Namibia. The area forms part of the Kavango Zambezi (KAZA) Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA). It is a priority conservation landscape given that it supports critical wildlife corridors linking Namibia to its neighbouring TFCA countries, Angola, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The wildlife economy is an important socio-economic driver in this region and therefore the need for more detailed spatial planning was identified in order to promote a more sustainable, inclusive and coordinated development vision.
