Estimates were calculated using DISTANCE which takes account in drop-off in detectability of animals with distance from the transect line. Where there are no values too few observations were recorded to allow for meaningful estimates to be derived. Attempts should be made to fill these gaps. Kwandu conservancy differs from the other 3 more strictly protected areas in that it contains a significant human presence. It is not expected to have the same species densities, but it is an important wildlife corridor between the national parks.

The partner states of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA), Namibia, Botswana, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe last week launched the first-ever coordinated aerial survey of elephants in Windhoek. Speaking at the launch, Executive Director in the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism, Theofilus Nghitila said the survey is a fundamental component of the KAZA Strategic Planning Framework for the Conservation and Management of Elephants. "The survey will be coordinated by the KAZA Secretariat in close collaboration with designated teams in…

Namibia's elephants extend across the north of the country. They occur in six main areas of the known Namibian range - the north-west, Etosha National Park (NP), Mangetti National Park, northern Kavango, Khaudum National Park/Nyae Nyae Conservancy and Zambezi Region. Seasonal changes in distribution are related to water availability. There are movements of elephants between Namibia and its neighbours, particularly Botswana, and mainly from Zambezi Region. The largest populations are found in the north-east of the country, in Khaudum/Nyae Nyae and Zambezi Region.

An overview of elephant conservation and management in Namibia.

This proposed study focuses on the elephants of the Kunene/Etosha cluster. The elephants outside Etosha is still largely a free ranging population over much of a 100 000 km² range. For the purpose of this proposal the study area (Figure 1) encompasses the extreme western area of Etosha, Skeleton Coast Park, communal conservancies, concessions and the private farming land south of Etosha. The average rainfall ranges from <50mm to 300mm. Recently, human-elephant conflicts have received a lot of attention in this Region.

The aerial survey includes the Eastern Floodplain area from the Zambian border to the Nkasa Rupara National Park border. This represents 1042 square kilometer area stretching over a 380-km portion of the Zambesi , Chobe and Linyanti Rivers. The area is surveyed during north-east wetland counts by fixed- ing aerial surveys and hel icopter surveys. Hel icopter surveys use two observers, one data recorder and a pilot.

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.
