Namibia is famous for its desert landscapes. Visitors may therefore be surprised when they encounter the lush green Zambezi Region, cradled in the confluence of the Kwando,Zambezi and Chobe rivers. This relatively wet part of the country is not immune to climate change, however. The negative effect of this global phenomenon is felt most keenly by the local communities who rely on natural resources for income and sustenance. The Khwe and !Xun people are indigenous San communities who live in the 6,274km2 Bwabwata National Park, which straddles the Zambezi and Kavango East regions. When the park was established, the resident San communities retained their right to remain on the land, but their traditional lifestyle of hunting and gathering was restricted. While the Kyaramacan Association, formed by the community, allows them to co-manage their natural resources with the park authority, community members must abide by hunting regulations and park rules.
