Wildlife removals – quota use and value
maximising wildlife benefits by minimising threats...
Conservancies reduce environmental costs
while increasing environmental benefits.
Benefits from wildlife can far outweigh
human wildlife conflict costs.

Number of incidents per year Commercial poaching is a serious threat to
conservancy benefits. The chart shows the
number of incidents per category
estimates are based on average national values
Two of the most significant benefits for the conservancy:
cash income to the conservancy to cover running costs and
invest in developments
employment benefits to conservancy residents
the chart shows the approximate ratio of benefits to costs
Potential value estimates (N$) for quotas are based on:
• Potential trophy value - the average national trophy value of each trophy species multiplied by the quota number
• Potential other use value - the average national meat value of each common species multiplied by the quota number
- the average live sale value of each high value species (indicated with an *) multiplied by the quota number
- high value species are never used for meat
Traps and firearms recovered number of incidents per category

Wildlife provides a wide range of benefits.
Some wildlife can cause conflicts,
but all wildlife is of value to tourism,
trophy hunting and a healthy environment.
By using all the available information
and adapting and improving activities,
threats such as human wildlife conflict,
poaching and other issues can be minimised.

Wildlife Status
Count trend – gives the species status in the
conservancy based on game count trend data.
National guideline – gives the species status in the
conservancy using national guidelines for the conservancy;
for example, lions may cause local problems, but are of
high value and are rare at landscape level.
Desired number – gives the species status in the
conservancy based on what the conservancy would
like to have.
dark green (abundant) – there should be less;
light green (common) – the desired number is reached;
yellow (uncommon) – there should be more;
light orange (rare) – there should be more than double;
dark orange (very rare) – there should be more than triple;
red (extinct) – the species needs to be reintroduced.
Not all data or species
are shown on this report;
use your Event Book
for more information
Locally rare species
Locally rare and endangered species
are not found very often in the conservancy and
need special conservation attention.

status barometers reflect the general count trend over the last 5 years
Predator monitoring charts show the average number of animals seen per Event Book each year
status barometers reflect the general sightings trend over the last 5 years
