From 5th of September to 30th of October

An important aspect of SCIONA is understanding the wildlife of the area. This is not only for conservation, but wildlife are a key attraction for tourism, and discovering where they are can help with future tourism planning.


The Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) reported a newborn giraffe calf in northwestern Namibia.


As part of the SCIONA Community Engagement activities, a SCIONA team embarked on a fieldtrip to conduct household surveys in   Epupa and Okanguati conservancies on the 1st to the 14th of September 2019. The team camped in both Epupa and Okanguati.


Dr Rolf Becker and Dr Vera De Cauwer represented the SCIONA team at the annual conference of the Arid Zone Ecological Forum from 7 to 11 November 2019 in Kimberley, South Africa.


A new Euphorbia species was found on a hill in the Skeleton Coast National Park by SCIONA team members during the scoping trip in May 2018. We are happy to announce that the description of the new Euphorbia rimireptans was recently published in Phytotaxa.
