A decision to allow the trophy-hunting of endangered elephants in Namibia has angered conservation groups. Trophy permits have been issued for the killing of six bull elephants by the government's Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET). Conservationists estimate there are about 400 elephants in the Kunene region It will allow any big game hunter willing to pay about $40,000 the right to hunt and shoot a bull elephant in Namibia's north-west desert region. But opponents say killing bull elephants in an already endangered population is unsustainable and risks pushing the desert elephant towards extinction. The elephants, who spend their lives...

Mugabe land-grab advice - By Christopher Munnion in Johannesburg (Filed: 05/04/2004) President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has begun to export his government's expertise on the most effective methods of seizing farms from white landowners. A team of Zimbabwean "land redistribution experts" arrived in Namibia yesterday to advise the government of President Sam Nujoma.

ATTEMPTS by South African botanists to explain "fairy circles" in Namibia - bizarre outlines in the grass, somewhat akin to Britain's bogus crop circles - have drawn a complete blank, New Scientist reports. The circles comprise innumerable discs of completely bare sandy soil, ranging from two to 10m across, found in grass on Namibia's coastal fringe. Over the past three decades, scientists have wrangled over how the shapes are formed. There are three main theories: radioactive soil, which prevents plants from growing; toxic proteins left in the soil by a poisonous plant called the milkbush; and termite colonies that mop...
