The country of Namibia possesses rare qualities which makes it an ideal location for conservation. With the world’s second lowest human population density, the Kunene Region desert hosts some of the last remaining large populations of migratory African mammal species. The Kunene Region Protected Area lies between two important conservation sites – Etosha National Park and Skeleton Coast National Park. The Kunene desert would provide an important linkage between these two national parks and better protect the annual migratory route of these animals as they trek across these aridlands. These three sites once linked together will create a 15 million acre conservation area, one of the largest in the world.

Support will help create one of the last true wildernesses in Africa, a 1.6 million acre national park to be known as the “People’s Park.” Kunene’s deserts, grasslands and dry riverbeds are home to the endangered black rhino, desert elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, rare Ruppell's parrot and Hartlaub's francolin. We are supporting partners Save the Rhino Trust and The Nature Conservancy to develop this region. Local villages will help manage the natural resources once the Park is established. Your funds will not only improve the wild populations of animals but will improve the quality of life for the communities that live there.
