Doro !Nawas WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT & UTILISATION PLAN VISIONTo sustainably manage & use wildlife & natural resources for the purpose bettering the quality of life of the residing community (socially, economically, environmentally and culturally) & to achieve the self-sufficiency of the conservancy WILDLIFE POPULATION THRESHOLDS Conservancy size = 407,000 ha. To better visualise population numbers, imagine a 5000ha farm and calculate densities of the population for this farm by dividing the estimate by 80. This give a standard index - Numbers per 5000ha farm – which is easy to understand in practical terms. Compare the density of what you have with the densities in the last column of the table above. If greater, then that species has reached its threshold and can be harvested at higher off-take rates (see table above). RECOMMENDED HARVEST OFF-TAKE RATES Off-take rates & types of off-take change as desired population densities are reached # Only males will be hunted until desired population sizes are reached ## Females may be harvested once desired population sizes have been reached Supported by: WWF Norway Norad ICEMA
