Current research and opinion on land governance for societal development in and on the global south
We have that connection, we have love; we take wildlife as gifts from our ancestors”: Relations between antelopes and Khwe in Namibia’s Bwabwata National Park
Wildlife plays significant roles in many societies that go beyond its ecological importance and economic rationale associated with conservation. This article examines the meanings of antelopes for the Khwe people in Bwabwata National Park in north-eastern Namibia. It underlines the importance that indigenous communities attach to wildlife and advocates for a more comprehensive understanding of human-wildlife relationships beyond ecological and ec…
Crossing Etosha: A history of donkeys in Namibia's central north
Donkeys are a common sight in Namibia’s central north and play an important albeit contested role in rural society and economy. Historically, they were one of the few domesticated animals that were allowed to enter today’s Etosha National Park and to cross the veterinary border (Red Line) between the northern communal lands and the Police Zone in central Namibia. In the first half of the twentieth century, migrant workers brought thousands of don…

The Lower !Garib, or Orange River, flows through the historical Namaqualand and since 1990 has formed the international border between Namibia and South Africa. The contributors to this volume focus on this hardly discussed stretch of the Orange River to understand the region's social history, geography, and economy. This book brings together scholars from Namibia, South Africa, and overseas, as well as the knowledge and analysis from people livi…

Conservation, Markets & the Environment in Southern and Eastern Africa: Commodifying the ‘Wild’
Sorghum, its Proteins and Thai Lime: Shouldn’t the Use of Kaffir, Kafir, Kaffirin and Kafirin as Common Nouns be Discontinued
It is trite that most Indigenous food resources in former politically colonised nations have been given English or some other Western common or trivial names.The oppressed people especially in southern Africa were not spared from derogatory and/or racist names such as Kaffir or Kafir, a derogatory reference name equivalent to Nigga or Negro that was used in America.Over time and as political freedom and independence were gained through liberation…

Covid-19 in Sub-Saharan Africa: Impacts on land, governance, and livelihoods
This paper focuses on the impacts of COVID-19 on livelihoods, land access and governance in rural and peri-urban selected areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. Crises are usually expected to be worse for citizens in developing countries since most of their economic activities are in the informal sector, and access to the social protection programs is often limited and exclusionary. Those vulnerable and marginalized are often those who are hit the hardest …
The Power of Dissonance: Inconsistent Relations Between Travelling Ideas And Local Realities in Community Conservation in Namibia's Zambezi Region
Environmental conservation is presented as a success story in Namibia's Zambezi Region where conservation measures have led to an enormous increase in many wildlife populations. Complementary to historically exclusive fortress-conservation strategies, inclusive projects have gained prominence in the past few decades aiming to integrate local populations into conservation projects. Perhaps the most salient approach is community-based natural resou…
