E01 Oceans and their currents are the life support of all living beings on Earth. Ensuring a healthy Benguela current marine ecosystem is the key to success of all life in Namibia. These shorts are from a film we produced for the Benguela Current Convention of Namibia, initiated by Dr Carola Kirchner and Dr Ben Van Zyl . This forward-looking approach towards management of marine ecosystems that support all marine and aquatic activities is required to embrace a healthy ocean ecosystem as a growth opportunity for all future Namibians. @wildafricafilms #wildnamibia #conservationist #wildafricafilms #shorts #conservationfilmfoundation #namibia #wildlife #environment #conservationfilm #travel #lion #whynamibia #ministry_of_environment_nam #wildlifemanagement #conservationistsinaction

Oceans and their currents are the life support of all living beings on Earth. The Benguela Upwelling System off Namibia’s Atlantic coastline is one of the most productive fishing grounds in the world. Ensuring a healthy Benguela current marine ecosystem is the key to success of all life in Namibia. A lack of awareness and understanding of Namibia’s marine resource management may result in an unfavorable public perception of the predominately good and positive strides made in protecting the sustainability of marine ecosystem resources. Why is it that the science of climate change and its direct effect on Namibia’s marine resources is largely unknown and unexplained to most. These are the voices taking us on a journey into the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem.

Namibia is globally renowned for its wildlife. While some of the species are iconic and well known, many are not. Dragonflies are predatory insects, both in their aquatic nymphs stage (also known as naiads) and as adults. In some species, the nymphal stage lasts for up to five years, and the adult stage may be as long as ten weeks, but most species have an adult lifespan in the order of five weeks or less, and some survive for only a few days. They play an important role in the functioning of the natural environment, for example by moving and cycling nutrients between trophic levels and different geographical areas. Trophic levels depict each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, consisting of organisms sharing the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to the primary sources of energy. #shorts Filmed in WIndhoek with a Canon C70 by Jens

Ticks belong to the invertebrate animals called phylum Arthropoda. During feeding, the ticks crawl onto their host and attach to the skin with their mouthparts. When ticks have fully engorged the host’s blood, they detach from the host’s skin and drop to the ground. Some ticks live in open environments and crawl onto vegetation to wait for their hosts to pass by. This type of ambush and behaviour of waiting on vegetation is called “questing”. Some adult ticks are, however, active hunters and run across the ground after hosts Be aware that ticks transmit numerous kinds of viruses, fungi, bacteria, and protozoa between livestock, wildlife, and human hosts causing poor health and socio-economic losses to their respective hosts. Many studies indicate that there is no single, ideal solution to the control of ticks and tick-borne diseases. So be on the lookout when walking in the field… Read more: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269966453_Occurrence_of_Ticks_and_Tick-Borne_Diseases_of_Livestock_in_Zambezi_Region_A_Review #shorts

LITTLE SPARROWHAWK within Windhoek city limits #shorts for conservation awareness Namibia.

INVESTING IN ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOODS - Phase 01 Among our most rewarding projects is investing in improving livelihoods of people living with wildlife, creating alternative food source and income models. We are assisting the Otjimboyo Conservancy to become a model project for food production in an arid area. The capacity building and empowerment training provides desperately needed skills and motivation to the inhabitants to consider their plight from a perspective of opportunity, rather than despair. This project is a collaborative venture between the Conservation Film Foundation Trust and the Otjimboyo Conservancy Management Committee. The project was started with a grant from the Environmental Investment Funds based in Windhoek, Namibia. Additional funding for project sustainability and expansion is essential to the success of this initiative. It will furthermore be the first time where the plight of the community is documented on video, and the solutions implemented shared with the world. Otjimboyo is a rural communal conservancy in the Kunene Region of Namibia, with almost 400 registered members living in an arid landscape, largely semi-desert, and sparse savannah, with less than 100mms average annual rainfall. With financial assistance of the Environmental Investment Fund the development of a Community Garden was initiated to mitigate some negative effects of a prolonged drought and other climate related stressors, improve community adaptive capacity, and provide alternative food resources and income opportunities. The Otjimboyo Community Garden opens new avenues of adaptation to living in a desert landscape, enhances resilience potential, while contributing to food security, self-reliance, and biodiversity conservation across ecosystems. Otjimboyo aims at becoming a model of food production in an arid area, supplying surrounding lodges and villages with fresh produce, and deriving an income thereof. The sub-optimal water quality in the Daures landscape requires a selection of crops relatively resilient to saline water, without placing excessive burden on the scarce water resources. Being mindful of harmonious human wildlife co-existence, great care was taken in identifying a suitable location for the community garden and providing a reliable water supply for animal consumption and drip- irrigation, as well as securing sufficient space for future expansion. In phase two of the Otjimboyo community garden project, any additional funding will be applied to further improve project sustainability through market development, future infrastructure expansion, crop diversification, and additional learning and knowledge sharing needed to effectively run a successful community garden. @ministry_of_environment_nam @desertliontrust @savetherhinonamibia @lionrecovery @tosconamibia #whynamibia #conservationist #shorts #conservationfilmfoundation #namibia #wildlife #environment #natuurbewaarder #conservationfilm #travel #lion #ministry_of_environment_nam #wildlifemanagement #conservationistsinaction

The Huab is well known for its desert elephant population which is one of the greatest tourist attraction in the area. The scenery is remarkably varied and dramatic: camelthorn, mopane and ana trees line the sides of the riverbed, huge sandy valleys are dotted with gigantic boulder outcrops and rocky hills, red-rock mountains punctuate the horizon, and massive sand dunes studded with black volcanic rocks make the elephants walking below them seem tiny. #conservationfilmfoundation #desertelephants #elephants #gentlegiants #elephantsofinstagram #namibia #africa #communitytraining #mitigationtraining #whynamibia #conservationist #shorts #conservationfilmfoundation #ministry_of_environment_nam #conservationistsinaction
