Green hydrogen development and the Tsau ǁKhaeb National Park

The proposed hydrogen development in the Tsau ǁKhaeb National Park (TKNP) poses a severe threat to one of only a few global biodiversity hotspots in an arid area, and one of the largest near-pristine wildernesses on earth. The biological diversity and ecological sensitivity of the TKNP should raise red flags about any large-scale industrial development in this area.

The NCE is deeply concerned about the current commercial harvesting of slow-growing hardwood trees in the north east of Namibia (mainly Kavango East and West, northern Otjozondjupa and Zambezi).

We, as Namibian conservationists, including environmental NGOs, researchers, community representatives and conservancies, hereby join a group of international conservationists in voicing our support for Botswana’s consultative process to address the challenges associated with managing its large elephant population. We applaud President Masisi and Botswana’s parliament for establishing the consultative process that looks to balance wildlife conservation with the needs and aspirations of the citizens of Botswana.
