In the month of May 2004 the libraries of the DEA and the Directory of Forestry merged and have since been housing their resources in the same physical location, which is the 7th Floor of the Capital Centre building in the Levinson Arcade, Windhoek.

This Center now contains just over 5200 resources in books, documents , reports and dissertations, a number which has risen from a humble 1669 only three 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
