Wildlife corridors are vital in Namibia and the wider Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA-TFCA) because they allow elephants, lions, and other wildlife to move safely between protected areas. These corridors also support biodiversity, climate resilience, and cross-border conservation by connecting habitats across Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Communities benefit through community conservancies and conservation areas that create jobs, strengthen tourism income, support sustainable natural resource management, and provide incentives to protect wildlife for future generations.
Find out in this video how the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is supporting wildlife corridors and communal conservancies in Namibia.
The SWM Programme is an international initiative, which is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment and the French Development Agency. It is being implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Centre for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
