Title:

Wildlife census of Namibia's north east rivers

Abstract:

This poster presents the results of aerial surveys of game animals in the wetlands of north-eastern Namibia. The area is surrounded by Angola, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe and is a key area for wildlife, which moves freely between Namibia and neighbouring countries. The aerial surveys cover the Okavango, Kwando, Linyanti , Chobe and Zambezi Rivers and their associated wetlands and floodplains. The Okavango, Kwando, Linyanti and Zambezi rivers provide perennial water. Extensive, broad floodplains along the rivers flood seasonal ly and there are some small, permanent wetlands. The surveys provide information on the distribution, abundance and trends of wildlife. Counts are made from a fixed-wing aeroplane using standard aerial survey methodology. All counts follow the same flight path and give a 100% sampling coverage of the area. Census numbers available from: 2004, 2007, 2009, 2017.
