Did you know that Namibia was the first country in the world to incorporate environmental protection into its constitution? Conservation is a cornerstone of the Namibian experience. Local government has reinforced its commitment by giving communities the opportunity and rights to manage wildlife through communal conservancies. Today, over 40% of Namibia is under conservation management. Currently, Namibia is regarded as “one of the greatest conservation stories ever told”.
The Namibia Tourism Board (http://www.namibiatourism.com.na/) has launched a variety of campaigns to raise awareness of the destination in the North American market. Our favorite? Their Conservation Destination Sweepstakes (http://stories.namibiatourism.com.na/conservation-destination).
