Description
Due to growing concerns regarding the continued survival of cranes, the Namibia Crane Working Group (NCWG) was established at a workshop in Etosha in May 2004 under the joint auspices of the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF), the Ministry of Wildlife and Tourism (MET) and the African Wattled Crane Programme of the International Crane Foundation (AWAC). A Namibia Crane Action Plan was drawn up in consultation with representatives from five crane areas, namely Etosha, North Central, Kavango, Caprivi and Bushmanland. NCWG mission is to conserve cranes and their habitats in partnership with the people who share these habitats.
