In Namibia last year during the 2013 Adventure Travel World Summit, the Adventure Travel Trade Association collaborated with World Wildlife Fund to tell Namibia's compelling conservation story to delegates and media. WWF has continued that work since the Summit and is making some of their high-quality video footage available to media and tour operators and encouraging you to share them through your media outlets.

Despite the dangers of living with lions and other free-roaming wildlife, Jantjie and his community are committed to their protection because responsible tourism and national pride make his wildlife worth more alive than dead.
