| Namibia Large Carnivore Atlas | |
| 2004 Full Book | |
Namibia is one of few African countries that support six species of large carnivore. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyaenas, brown hyaenas and wild dogs occur primarily in the northern and western sections of Namibia. With the possible exception of lions and leopards we have a poor understanding of the exact distribution and density of these species, although available information suggests that the populations are stable. The Namibia Large Carnivore Atlas was launched to involve the tourism industry and the Namibian public in collecting baseline data on the six large carnivore species. The Atlas data improves our understanding of large carnivore distribution and density, and as key species, contributes to the monitoring of biodiversity in Namibia. |
