The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism has clarified how Namibia's natural or biological resources should be accessed and used. 

Namibia's biological resources are among the most diverse and ecologically significant on the African continent. 

Member states within the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA) have set their eyes on increasing the value of their natural infrastructure for conservation and sustainability purposes. 

The SADC Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCA) International Conference and Summit of Heads of State and Government is scheduled to take place in Harare, Zimbabwe, from May 19 to 23, 2025.

The Cheetah Conservation Fund's Education Manager, Shannon Kandjai, has called on Namibians and visitors alike to educate themselves on conserving cheetahs ahead of the international conference, which will cover the most up-to-date advances in conservation genetics.

Namibia takes center stage in the global biodiversity conversation as it hosts the eleventh session of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the capital.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism has launched the Namibia Integrated Landscape Approach for Enhancing Livelihoods and Environmental Governance to Eradicate Poverty project. 

In a move that ushers in a new era for the sustainable management of biological and genetic resources, Namibia has introduced new Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) Guidelines for this purpose, along with an online permitting system. 

There is a need to develop a policy aimed at enhancing an equitable and sustainable biotrade sector in Namibia.

The establishment of such a policy will link Namibia's biodiversity product innovations to a global market while supporting local community development.
