PROGRAM - Who Does Namibia’s Wildlife Belong to?

  • Oxford Presbyterian Church’s Seminary Sanctuary 104 East Church Street oxford, oh (map)

This event will be presented both in-person and digitally via Zoom.

Presenter – Dan Marsh

As the Director of Education at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, a central theme of Dan’s work is to celebrate the successes we have seen in ensuring the survival of wildlife and wild places.  In part, because we have accomplished so much over the past 120 years and because taking a positive outlook on the future is much more motivating than the pessimist’s path.  One, often overlooked, success story is the South Western country of Namibia.  Namibia has the only growing population of black rhinos and lion on the African continent.  Concurrent with this success, the international community has put pressure on Namibia to manage wildlife as they would like, which has created a slow smoldering tension.  This raises important questions like the title of this talk – “Who does Namibia’s wildlife belong to?” In this talk, we will celebrate Namibia’s wildlife, people and landscapes as well as explore this question and more.
