Symposium on animal movements and satellite tracking in Namibia, held at Otjikoto Private Game Reserve, B2Gold, 24 November 2016.

For practitioners in the field to share work in the area of wildlife tracking with both marine and terrestrial animals species, with these aims:

  • Get better understanding of who is doing what, where and how
  • Gain more insight on available data, and how it is being managed
  • Identify key gabs and priorities in our knowledge of how animals use space and natural resources
  • And to further identify potential for comparative and synergistic work amongst others.
