Namibia: Three Laws to Regulate Wetlands

Namibia is drafting three pieces of legislation that will guide the management of wetlands in the country. A recently launched booklet, 'Wetlands of Namibia', says the three laws will be: the Water Resources Management Bill, Environmental Management Bill and the Parks and Wildlife Management Bill. Lenka Thamae, the Manager for the World Conservation Union SADC Wetlands Projects based at WCU regional office in Harare, has urged Namibia to preserve its wetlands so that they can benefit future generations.
