Namibia: Ecotourism

Namibia's economy now benefits more from wildlife than gold mining, with ecotourism playing a key role. The Torah Conservancy, a collaboration between the government, a safari company, and the local community, exemplifies successful ecotourism. It provides economic benefits to locals, who are employed and share in tourism profits. The Conservancy protects rare species like the black rhino, showing that conservation can be more profitable than hunting. Ecotourism helps preserve Namibia's natural reserves, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional tourism.
