Thanks to the WWF Netherlands-funded Wildlife Credits project, WWF Namibia and dedicated game guards from Bamunu, Sobbe, and Kwando Conservancies are taking urgent action to safeguard precious ecosystems. Camera traps have been deployed in core wildlife areas in these conservancies to capture invaluable evidence of thriving biodiversity, ensuring these areas remain safe havens for nature.
These advanced monitoring tools send real-time alerts when human presence is detected, making them a vital tool for protecting core wildlife areas from illegal activities. They also have the potential to capture incredible images of wildlife, such as leopards, lions, hyenas, African wild dogs, elephants, and giraffes.
Through the Wildlife Credits project in Namibia, verified wildlife sightings will contribute to performance-based payments, directly benefiting each conservancy and supporting long-term conservation efforts.
Protecting wildlife today means safeguarding Namibia’s natural heritage for future generations. Strengthening community-led conservation efforts ensures that these ecosystems continue to provide sustainable benefits for local communities while preserving the country’s incredible biodiversity. Every conservancy supported is a victory for conservation.
