in the past century, Namibia had faced apartheid, poaching  for rhino horns, rifles in the hands of everyone, drought. Death and despair. It is important to know what to run from, and when to fight.

John continues the work with the Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation that was started in the generation of his father. In 1995, there were only 20 lions in the entire Northwest of Namibia. Today there are more than 150 lions. In 1982 the black rhino was almost extinct. Today, Namibia has the largest free-roaming black rhino population on earth.

Over 13 million hectares of land in Namibia are protected wildlife conservations.

This is the story we need to shout from the roof.
