The first Namibia Crane Workshop in Etosha in May 2004 was attended by an enthusiastic mix of participants from Namibia and several other countries. This initiative was a partnership among the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF), SIDA, the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET), the African Wattled Crane Programme (AWAC; a joint project of the International Crane Foundation and Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa) and many other supporters. As a result of a concern for the continued survival of Namibia's crane species and their habitats by workshop participants, we now have a Namibia Crane Action Plan and, equally importantly, a Namibia Crane Working Group (NCWG) to put this plan into action.

Our vision:
Cranes and people sharing habitats in harmony in Namibia.

Our mission:
To conserve cranes and their habitats in partnership with the people who share these habitats.
