Aerial census of the Etosha national Park during September 1973 with aid of a helicopter

Since completion of the fence on the Etosha's northern border the whole game park is now fenced in, causing management problems and more intensive research, also because the game park is an ecological unit no longer. Elephants breaking through the fence, doing damage on neighbouring farms and lions going through the breaks, still pose a problem in spite of the fact that a large part of the fence was re-enforced by adding three wires and that nature conservators spent more time keeping elephants away from the farms. Seven culprits had to be shot.

The first Administration’s policy that game should have a monetary value for the farmer, started yielding…

Farmers who complained about damage caused by protected game, were assisted as far as possible. Three giraffes and two elephants had to be shot and many elephants were driven from farms.

The aerial survey includes the Mahangu and Buffalo Floodplain area in Bwabwata National Park, Namibia. This area is a Ramsar site and supports one of the highest diversity of species in the Zambezian Flooded Savannas ecoregion. The site covers the lower Okavango River, part of the Okavango Delta Panhandle and permanently or temporarily flooded marshes and floodplains bordered by riparian forests and open woodland. The area is surveyed during north-east wetland counts by fixed-wing aerial surveys and helicopter surveys. Helicopter surveys use two observers, one data recorder and a…

The aerial survey includes the Kwando River from the Angola border to the Botswana border. This represents a 730 square kilometer area covering a 110 km length of the Kwando River and the wetlands of Nkasa Rupara National Park. The area is surveyed during north-east wetland counts by fixed-wing aerial surveys and helicopter surveys. Helicopter surveys use two observers, one data recorder and a pilot. Transects 400m apart are flown at 90km/h, with back doors open for optimal visibility. The helicopter is circled especially for groups of buffalo, lechwe and hippo, to obtain a…

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. Extensive, broad floodplains along the rivers flood seasonal ly and there are some small, permanent wetlands.

Table xx provides estimates of population size of most large mammal species, crocodile and ground hornbill for the three core wildlife areas and the Multiple Use Area, as well as an indication of trend (grey denotes stable, red denotes decline, green denotes increase). In some instances estimates from ground surveys are also provided. Estimates of elephants, roan, eland and reedbuck seem to have increased consistently over the past several surveys.
