A symbolic encounter unfolded at UNAM’s Katima Mulilo Campus when baboons peacefully entered the multipurpose hall—underscoring the deep ecological interconnection between humans and wildlife in Namibia’s Zambezi Region. As recounted by Wildlife Management student Daniel Munyanya, this moment sparked reflection on coexistence, local stewardship, and the role of education in conservation. Positioned within the Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA), the campus serves as a bridge between communities and nature, reinforcing Namibia’s globally recognized communal conservancy model and commitment to ecological harmony.
