BIOKAVANGO Project

Project Background The BIOKAVANGO Project's aim is to lift barriers to mainstreaming biodiversity conservation objectives into the activities of three production sectors: water, tourism and fisheries, all dependent on ecological services and goods provided by the Okavango wetland system. The Project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Government of Botswana, and implemented by the Harry Oppenheimer Okavango Research Centre (HOORC) in Maun. Project design is founded on the recognition that command and control approaches alone are inadequate to ensure effective and sustainable mainstreaming of biodiversity management objectives in the production sectors of the Okavango Delta.
