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.

1971. South West African Administration White Paper on the activities of the different branches for 1971.

More and more profits are being derived from the Administration's policy that game should have a direct monetary value for the farm owners. Farmers thus netted an estimated income of R186 600,00 throughout the year from the sale of live game, game carcases, hunting licence fees and trophy hunters. This amount was calculated according to the licence value of the different game species for which licences were issued and could be considerably higher. The licensed game dealers netted close to R111 700,00 from the export of game.
