Should be a very interesting discussion with our local specialists at 19:00 tomorrow

Wildlife and environmental scientist Prof Morgan Hauptfleisch argues that the love of animals combined with limited understanding of ecosystems leads to unproductive debates in conservation.

This week on Unlocking Nature, Prof. Hauptfleisch will be joined by Siegfried Muzuma, Chair of the Ehi-Rovipuka Conservancy in Namibia, to discuss how limited and superficial knowledge can lead to negative spirals in public debate, using human-elephant conflict to explore how the Dunning-Kruger Effect plays out in conservation.

You can join us on Thursday 13 August to be part of the conversation by following the registration link below.

Good news

Namibia approves new policy governing mining in protected and environmentally sensitive areas

Namibia's Cabinet has approved a new national policy governing prospecting and mining in protected and environmentally sensitive areas, introducing stricter environmental safeguards while seeking to balance mineral development with biodiversity conservation.

The National Policy on Prospecting and Mining in Protected Areas, Other Areas with High-Value Species and Environmentally Sensitive Areas provides a framework for regulating exploration and mining activities in national parks, communal conservancies, community forests, game farms and other areas of ecological, cultural or conservation significance.

Minister of Information and Communication Technology Emma Theofelus said the policy is designed to support responsible mineral development while safeguarding the country's natural ecosystems and cultural heritage.

"Cabinet approved the National Policy on Prospecting and Mining in Protected Areas, Other Areas with High Value Species and Environmentally Sensitive Areas, which aimed to develop integrated and sustainable prospecting and mining in Namibia to support economic growth, whilst maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem and natural resources and avoiding degradation of areas highly sensitive for the ecological, social, and/or cultural heritage value," she said during the latest Cabinet briefing.
