Introduction

The Resource Center physical location is at the entrance of the Ministry head office, Troskei Uhland, Street, Windhoek. 

This Center now contains just over 5300 resources in books, documents, reports and dissertations, a number which has risen from a humble 3000 only two years ago! This includes a range of 500 editions of the Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology as well as 225 editions of the Environmental Health Criteria series containing guidelines on the management of chemicals. We are now able to provide a much broader range of information to a wider audience than before.

Books that we are distributing en masse to anyone interested (and that means worldwide) includes:

• Sand and Water: A profile of the Kavango region
• Namibia’s Environmental Monitoring and Indicators Network Workshop III
• Livelihoods and CBNRM in Namibia

Reports and publications that link to downloadable pages
