As part of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA) the Mudumu Complexes of the east Zambezi Region of Namibia are important areas for wildlife connectivity and dispersal. The national parks of the east Zambezi Region, i.e. Mudumu and Nkasa Rupara, are too small to maintain viable populations of some wildlife species, which depend on being able to move across a network of landscapes, such as the conservancies and woodland areas to connect to protected areas in neighbouring countries such as Angola, Botswana and Zambia. The MNC includes the perennial Kwando river system and its floodplain, the Kwando Core Area of Bwabwata National Park (BNP), four conservancies (Kwandu, Mashi, Mayuni and Sobbe), the Kwandu Community Forest and Mudumu National Park, which together cover an area of 3400km².
