In the Kunene region, Northwest of Namibia is a very distinctive desert ecoregion which is home to the black rhino, desert adapted-elephants, predators such as lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, and vast game species.

From 20 January 2023 to 4 February 2023, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources together with NACSO partners and the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) visited conservancies in the Kunene region. The aim of the visit was for the committee to understand the daily realities of people living with wildlife and come up with suitable solutions to meet some of their challenges and work towards opportunities pertaining to community based natural resource management.
