Although Namibia is home to some of the world's richest biodiversity it is also home to some of the poorest communities. Trying to tackle this rather complex issue of human-natural resources relationship and poverty reduction has been a long-standing challenge for government, local communities and other stakeholders alike. Consequently, conserving the environment and enhancing ecosystems is critical to protecting our diverse biological resources and sustaining our communities and economies that rely on their products and benefits. Without the maintenance of ecosystems, communities are unable to sustain stable and productive livelihoods.
