A Commitment to Conservation
Biomass Increase
The establishment of the ProNamib Nature Reserve will significantly increase biomass. This will be measured annually across the entire ecosystem. Whilst the biomass increases or decreases in accordance with rainfall – and has fallen due to the last 8 years of acute drought – overall re-establishing historic grazing significantly increases biomass.

Taking down fences will also allow game to move to where grass coverage is better and avoid the large numbers of animals killed by fences.
The ProNamib Trust
The ProNamib Trust was established in March 2020 in order to facilitate the acquisition of land for conservation and to raise funds for the Environment.
