Operation Blue Rhino is a formal cooperation between the Protected Resources Division of the Namibian Police Force within the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security and the Intelligence and Investigation Unit within the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism.
The Environmental Information System of Namibia has upgraded and expanded its website to include new features and improve user experience. The upgrades include: A new smart home page, new search engine to simplify and speed up e-library searches, a new section on wildlife crime and Environmental Impact Assessments out for public review, and a new citizen science archaeology section.
The aim is to install 20 000 tippy-taps over the next five weeks and to distribute information as widely as possible.
Tippy taps, an invention that consists of a five-litre container filled with soap water and tied to poles, which is then angled against a rope to be used as a pulley as in the picture above, have become a popular alternative for sanitation purposes where water is scarce.
