Conservation Relief Recovery and Resilience Facility was initiated by the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism and supported by several organisations including CCFN to provide financial relief to CBNRM institutions affected by the pandemic. The facility’s objective is to ensure the continuation of anti-poaching activities, mitigation of human-wildlife conflict, preservation of natural resources and the management of wildlife and provide financial support to conservancy members who have lost their incomes. The underlying goal is to ensure that CBNRM entities are able to weather the storm as a result of the pandemic and are in a position to recover as quickly as possible in a post COVID-19 era.

Namibia is home to the greatest wildlife recovery story ever told. Since its birth just over 2 decades ago, the country of Namibia has shown the world how to ensure Africa’s natural legacy while expanding livelihoods. “Pride of Namibia” tells the story of communities committed to protecting wildlife, of a nation that has enshrined conservation into its constitution, and of the future of responsible travel – tourism that directly benefits the people who give wildlife freedom to roam.
