Volume 12 Published: Special Issue on Conservation and Land in Namibia

This special issue set out to capture the many and varied ways in which conservation relates to land in Namibia; accordingly, we opted for expanse over precision in our thematic framing. Not only did an expansive scope make sense thematically but it also closely aligned with the Namibian Journal of Environment’s (NJE) own mandate - making the NJE a logical home for this epistemological pursuit.
