Namibian Wildlife Surveys archive

This archive of reports of wildlife surveys in Namibia aims to:

  • provide easy public access to published information and statistics
  • enable easy stakeholder access to recent and historical data on wildlife populations
  • provide a comprehensive archive of wildlife survey reports in Namibia

Public access to information is a vital component of ensuring community engagement in prevalent issues. Wildlife surveys are critical to determine the health of wildlife populations and determine trends over time to guide conservation and management actions. 

Wildlife surveys are done for different species using methods that are suited to counting them (e.g. by air or road) in their natural habitats. Such surveys need to be repeated over time to detect long-term trends and inform conservation managers. The Namibian government, non-governmental organisations and private reserves all conduct regular surveys covering different parts of Namibia and targeting different species. This archive will thus serve as a repository of our collective knowledge of the trends and status of a variety of species occurring throughout Namibia.

Smit E 2024. KAZA elephant survey lacks formal trend analysis.
A new report by Elephants Without Borders (EWB), summarising aerial survey results from over a decade across Southern Africa, found that overall, elephant numbers have not changed significantly. The report added that while the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA) aerial survey counted 227 900 elephants, it lacked any formal trend analysis. The transboundary aerial survey of KAZA elephants was flown from August to October 2022. KAZA includes Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, which share international borders along the Okavango and Zambezi River…

Efford MG, Boulanger J 2019. Fast evaluation of study designs for spatially explicit capture-recapture. Methods in Ecology and Evolution 2019
  1. Spatially explicit capture–recapture methods use data from the detection of marked animals at known points in space to estimate animal population density without bias from edge effects. Detection is by means of stationary devices such as traps, automatic cameras or DNA hair snags. Data collection is often expensive, and it is not obvious how to optimize the frequency of sampling and the spatial layout of detectors.
