Namibia: Okakarara Farmers in Wild Dogs Dilemma

Farming communities in Okakarara are caught up in a Catch-22 situation. Wild dogs are killing their livestock in growing numbers. Yet they may not kill the wild dogs because they are one of the world's most endangered species. Wild dogs have all along been a problem in the area but this year, says conservancy co-ordinator Gemon Kaapehi, the situation is so bad that farmers are losing cattle, sheep and goats on a daily basis.
