The rare desert lions of Namibia occur mostly in the Kunene Region and are rapidly facing extinction. Conflict between wildlife and the local people of Namibia is a significant problem. Human Wildlife Conflict (HWC) is particularly common on the communal lands in northern Namibia, where large carnivores regularly prey on domestic livestock and causes financial losses and disrupt the lives of the local people.
DeLHRA is a non-profit organisation working together with local farming communities to preserve wildlife.
DeLHRA supplies farmers with the tools and know-how to protect their livestock and ultimately, their livelihoods. In addition,
DeLHRA seeks to allow farmers to benefit directly from the growing tourism industry, incentivising local communities to have a vested interest in the preservation of wildlife.
