Namibia has a wealth and diversity of wildlife of all sizes. Namibians are very committed to protecting the country’s natural resources and abundance of wildlife. They live side by side with wildlife, including predators and large mammals. Namibia is the only country in the world where large numbers of rare and endangered wildlife are being translocated from national parks to open communal land. Wildlife conservation is important because the country has remarkable biodiversity and a high degree of endemism.<\/p>\n
Namibia is home to 217 mammal species, 26 of which are endemic, including the unique desert-dwelling rhinos and elephants. There are also about 4,350 species and subspecies of vascular plants, of which 17% are endemic. Six hundred and seventy-six bird species have been recorded, of which over 90 are endemic. This high level of endemism lends global significance to the conservation of biodiversity in Namibia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[73],"class_list":["post-19072","faqs","type-faqs","status-publish","hentry","category-information-en","countries-namibia-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/19072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faqs"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
