Monitoring & conservation management

Ongava Research Centre will support the development and management of neighbouring conservation areas, such as Ongava Game Reserve (OGR), Etosha National Park and the African Wildlife Conservation Trust (AWCT) in their conservation projects that support Etosha and its neighbours. The following are planned; of which some will be adjusted, and others added as demands and needs change:

Monitoring

On an annual basis, and more frequently when needed, ORC will provide information on rainfall and other climate parameters, vegetation production, land cover and use, the occurrence of bush fires, groundwater levels and qualities, fences and other barriers, the numbers and distribution of large mammals, and changes in land ownership and management.
