  98. - DEVELOPMENT OF CBNRM IN NAMIBIA.. Up until independence in 1990, Namibia's rural communities had been excluded from the wildlife ownership conservation strategy. In the 1990s, the principle of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM), was adopted in Namibia under the conservancy model. Today Namibia has more wildlife than at any time in the past 150 years, and the national wildlife herd stands at around 3 million animals.

The extent of these conservancies, 166 000 sq. km, is greater than all of the country's protected areas combined.

  125. - Fire in the Etosha National Park, Namibia (Copernicus 2025-10-02). Etosha National Park, located in northern Namibia, is one of southern Africa’s largest and most ecologically important protected areas. A major wildfire recently affected the park, destroying approximately 30% of its grazing pasture and spreading beyond its boundaries into areas near the Angolan border. According to authorities, the fire has now been contained, but it has caused extensive damage to grazing land and threatened habitats for various wildlife, including endangered black rhinos and over 100 other mammal species. This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image, acquired on 30 September 2025, shows the burn scar left by the fire. Data from the Copernicus Sentinel satellites is key to monitoring and mapping the extent of wildfires around the world, helping to inform emergency operations and assess their impacts on affected ecosystems.
  126. - Fires in Namibia (MODIS 2025-09-30). On September 22, 2025, a wildfire was spotted in the Namibia’s Etosha National Park. Within a week, the explosively growing blaze had devastated sensitive ecosystems within the park as well as damaged grazing and communal lands outside the park’s boundaries. According to multiple media reports, Namibia’s Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) confirmed widespread damage and loss of wildlife. On September 28, a statement from MEFT revealed that about 775,163 hectares within the Park (about 34 percent of the total park area) as well as 171,098 hectares of land outside the park in the Omusati and Oshana regions had burned. On September 29, Tjitunga Elijah Ngurare, the Prime Minister of Namibia, posted on his Facebook page that the fire is under control in Oshikoto and Oshana, but it continues out of control in Omusati. He also posted that the ecological damage is “extensive”, noting that several antelope have been killed by the fire and a pangolin was rescued. Other sources have reported at least one elephant death. Any estimate of animal deaths and impacts on the many towns affected are in the earliest stages. Etosha National Park sits in northwestern Namibia. It includes grasslands and woodlands surrounding the ancient salt-encrusted lake bottom known as Etosha Pan and provides habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, including the endangered black rhino. The park is not only ecologically important, but also vital to Namibia’s economy, as it is an active and busy eco-tourism destination. The savannas and the scrubby woodlands of the region are prone to wildfires and, if left uncontrolled, such fires can be huge and devastating. Wet spells produce a surge in vegetative growth, but the following heat and aridity (the region receives only about 10-20 inches of rain per year) turns the growth tinder dry. While fires are actually necessary to keep the savannas healthy, small and controlled fires (prescribed burns) are more effective and do less damage than such widespread, out of control infernos. Wildfires typically appear in the severe dry season, which runs from April to October. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image of active fire and the massive burn scar in and around Etosha National Park, Namibia on September 28. Here, the large Etosha Pan appears dull white, open land with sparse vegetation is tan, active fire is marked in red, and smoke is gray. Areas that are dark brown or black are the “burn scar”,land that has been seared by fire. While the largest burn scar is ringed by active fire along a number of fronts, two separate burn scars are also revealed, each showing active fire. The three separate burn scars suggest that there were at least three different ignitions. The initial fire has been attributed to “suspected charcoal production activities on bordering commercial farms”, according to Mr. Ngurare. While no official statement has been made on the smaller fires, it is possible they may have been sparked by windblown embers from the initial, largest fire.
