The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism has announced an increase in compensation for losses incurred in human-wildlife conflict.

Minister Pohamba Shifeta says compensation is now set at N$100,000, up from the previous N$50,000. 

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism continues to discourage the use of plastic bags until they are eliminated. 

This is because of their harmful impact on the environment.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism has called on rural communities to be creative and partake in the tourism sector.

This was stated during the celebration of World Tourism Day at Nkurenkuru.
