National parks talk tonight

THE Executive Director of the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF), Dr Chris Brown, will this evening make a presentation on national and private parks in Namibia.

The talk will be held at the Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre's cinema room in Windhoek, starting at 18h00.

The presentation is part of Park Talk, a bi-monthly talk and discussion session dedicated to Namibia's national parks and their management, hosted by the Strengthening of Protected Areas Network (Span) project of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.

On 22 March next year, Namibia will celebrate the centenary of the Etosha National Park.

Etosha is Namibia's flagship park and one of the oldest in the world.

It attracts 50 per cent of all tourists to Namibia and provides a safe haven for 114 mammal species - several of them endangered, 380 bird, 110 reptile, 16 amphibian and one fish species.
