Required Budgets for State Protected Conservation Areas
in the Potential Range
Martrin analysed the required manpower and budgets for the
State Protected Area (Analysis 3). In the table below, the
protected areas in the Caprivi have been grouped together
with Khaudum to form a single management unit for the purposes
of calculating operating costs – the costs are considerably
reduced if these areas are treated as a single unit. The Waterberg
Plateau Park and Mangetti Game Camp are evaluated separately.
The eastern end of Etosha National Park, which falls within
the potential range for roan, sable and tsessebe, has been
omitted from this table because it is assumed that adequate
operating budgets for the whole of Etosha are in place. The
operating costs for the Kwando Triangle are assumed to be
included in the budget for the Caprivi Game Park.
