Measuring environmental change requires suitable samples, such as materials collected from biological indicators. These are organic materials or organisms that are sensitive to, and suitably reflect, changes in environmental conditions.
Between the Congo and Orange Rivers lies a range of plateaus, inselbergs, and escarpments. These southwestern African highlands are home to several hundred endemic plants and animals, species that occur nowhere else in the world, but remain understudied.
The Greater Etosha Landscape in north-central Namibia faces growing conservation challenges. This programme has been conceptualised to better understand and conserve this landscape's carnivorous mammals.
ORC has been collecting and annotating more than 10 000 000 camera trap images since 2009. These camera traps have been deployed on Ongava Game Reserve, mainly at waterholes.
Understanding carbon cycling is fundamental to addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation. Drylands cover more than 40% of the Earth's surface and play a critical but often overlooked role in the global carbon budget.
In the realm of wildlife conservation and management, accurately estimating species population sizes and structures is essential. This is particularly crucial for keystone species, such as large carnivores, as they play a pivotal role in ecosystems due to their position at the top of the food chain.
