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.

| Summary of the 2004 July - 2006 July Wetland Bird Counts in Namibia.doc | 89 KB |
Namibia experienced some extreme rainfall in the first three months of 2006 and this, perhaps, is reflected in the results of the January wetland counts. One counter, Wilfred, could not get to his sites because it was too wet! In terms of numbers Walvis Bay leads by far but the Mahango yet again confirms its status as the most species rich birding destination in our country.

Altogether 240 563 tourists visited the Administration's game reserves and resorts during 1979, in comparison to 319 785 during 1978, which was a record year. The decrease of 79 222 visitors (24, 7%) can be attributed to the political and fuel situation. These factors especially affected visitors from the R. S. Ambers decreased from 112 110 in 1978 to 55 479 in 1979, which represents a decrease of 51%. There was a decrease of 12% in visitors from S. W. A. and 6% in visitors from overseas.
