Shepherds Tree (Boscia albitrunca). Several initiatives to support communities through their benefiting from the conservation of the environment in this beautiful part of the world are supported by the Namibia's community based natural resource management (CBNRM programme. This programme is under the leadership of Namibia's Ministry
\nof Environment and Tourism (MET). It is a long road to integrating sustainable rural development and wildlife
\nmanagement. CBNRM co-ordinator Brian Jones pointed out, "our approach should
\nbe about process not product," taking the long-term view and allowing
\ncommunities to develop at their own pace. In recognition of the program's
\nachievements, CBNRM Namibia was awarded the coveted Gift to the Earth Award
\nby World Wildlife Fund - United States. As George Mutwa, chairman of Salambala Conservancy in Caprivi province said, "To us the most exciting thing about the conservancy program is that it will give our children and our children's children a chance to enjoy wildlife we used to see when we were young before we chased game away from this area
\nthrough poaching."
