dc.description This document provides an overview of the historical evolution of conservation in Namibia, tracing the shift from exclusionary, protectionist wildlife management under colonial rule to a participatory, community‑based conservancy model. It outlines how early conservation policies marginalized rural communities, denying them access to natural resources and economic benefits. The text explains the 1996 amendment to the Nature Conservation Act, which extended rights of wildlife use and management to communities in communal areas, leading to the establishment of conservancies as formal community institutions. It further describes the structure, purpose, and registration requirements of communal and commercial conservancies, highlighting their roles in sustainable resource use, income generation, and rural development. The document also contextualizes the socio‑economic study commissioned to assess governance, community attitudes, and conflict resolution within Namibia’s conservancy system. en_US
