Strengthening Regional Capacity in Erongo Through the EU EIA Project
The Erongo Regional Association has been equipped with essential camping gear through NACSO and the EU-funded project, "Strengthening the Capacity of Community-Based Organisations in Namibia to Engage in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Processes", strengthening its ability to reach remote communities and coordinate effectively. This support forms part of a broader effort to build local capacity for meaningful participation in environmental decision-making, ensuring development is balanced with conservation and long-term sustainability across Namibia’s communal landscapes.
Advancing Indigenous and Local Knowledge for Biodiversity Policy and Action
Indigenous Peoples and local communities are key stewards of biodiversity, holding knowledge that supports sustainable practices and ecosystem management. The National ILK Outlook highlights the importance of strengthening the recognition, documentation, and integration of this knowledge into biodiversity policy, while addressing gaps that limit its inclusion in decision-making processes.
Reflecting on the Ocean in Focus Symposium: Advancing Namibia’s Marine Conservation Dialogue
In February 2026, the Ocean in Focus Symposium brought together diverse stakeholders in Swakopmund to reflect on Namibia’s marine environment, highlighting the importance of science-based decision-making, sustainable fisheries, and strengthened collaboration to secure the future of the country’s coastal ecosystems and livelihoods.
Building the Evidence Base for Conservation in the Gariep Region
The National Museum of Namibia’s recent Warmbad field expedition strengthens conservation planning in the Gariep Centre of Endemism by collecting vital specimens and biodiversity data, improving scientific knowledge of Namibia’s unique ecosystems and supporting evidence-based environmental management decisions.
Casting a Shared Vision for Namibia’s Freshwaters
The Freshwater Initiatives for Sustainable Habitats (FISH) project officially begins with a strong commitment to collaboration, community-led action, and long-term protection of Namibia’s freshwater ecosystems.
Walking Wetlands
In recognition of World Wetlands Day, guided wetland walks in Windhoek and Swakopmund created opportunities for direct engagement with ecosystems that play a vital role in biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods. By fostering dialogue, observation, and shared learning, the initiative highlighted why wetlands remain essential, yet increasingly vulnerable, natural systems that require informed stewardship and collective action.
