This plan sets out the management strategies and activities for the proposed Ramsar site1 on the lower Okavango River in Namibia, centered on the Mahango and Buffalo core areas of Bwabwata National Park (BNP). It is part of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism's (MET's) plan for the park and focuses on wetlands. Effective management of the site will ensure that: Wetland habitats and their associated ecological processes and biodiversity are conserved. Corridors for regional wildlife migration are safeguarded. Economic growth provided by the Ramsar site is secured and optimized. Access to this area of the Okavango River for Namibian and international visitors is managed sustainably. The overall vision is to manage the wetlands and associated ecosystems in collaborative ways while enhancing socioeconomic development, for the sustained benefit of people and the environment. Based on the existing policy and legal context for the Ramsar site, which emphasizes the importance of collaborative management, as highlighted by the draft policy on Protected Areas, Neighbours and Resident People (MET, 2013), the plan presents priorities for administration, local development, and monitoring.
