Namdeb backs Hardap wildlife patrol camp

Namdeb has reinforced its commitment to safeguarding Namibia’s natural heritage through a strategic partnership with the environment and tourism ministry by contributing N$28 000 towards the establishment of a new patrol camp in Hardap National Park. It will serve as the operational base for the Wildlife Protection Service team, which was recently deployed to the park.Namdeb’s Environmental Manager, Nandeshasho Nickanor, said that Namdeb’s purpose of Mining for Good, extends far beyond diamonds.“By partnering with the ministry to establish this patrol camp, we are strengthening Namibia’s frontline defences against poaching and contributing to a shared national vision of safeguarding our biodiversity for future generations.”Hardap Regional Control Warden from the ministry, Tashiya Joseph Tashiya expressed appreciation for Namdeb’s partnership, saying that the protection of Namibia’s wildlife and ecological processes” requires collective responsibility.“This patrol camp is more than just infrastructure; it is a symbol of what can be achieved when government and the private sector work hand in hand to safeguard our national heritage.”In the past, support has been provided to protect rhinos through the Debmarine–Namdeb Foundation, a long-standing supporter of Save the Rhino Trust (SRT), investing in Namibia’s rhino conservation efforts through key contributions, including the donation of three LandCruisers valued at N$1.5 million in September 2017 and a further N$1.1 million in 2019 towards the Rhino Pride and Rhino Ranger Programmes.Namdeb said the ministry’s zero-tolerance approach to poaching, combined with strong partnerships between government, communities, and private sector players such as Namdeb, has been instrumental in protecting rhinos and other threatened species.This latest initiative underscores the importance of strategic public-private partnerships in preserving Namibia’s wildlife for future generations while reinforcing the country’s position as a global conservation leader.
