As
the wilderness concept is gradually translated, adapted, and makes its way
throughout the world, Namibia will likely be one of the next countries to adopt
national legislation to specifically protect and manage wilderness. Much of the
lead-up and background work to this has been fostered and encouraged by a WILD
associate, Tryg Cooper (Chief Warden, Waterberg Plateau Park, Ministry of
Environment and Tourism). In June 1996, an international gathering of wilderness
experts convened at the Waterberg Plateau Park to assist Namibia's national
progress towards wilderness legislation. Professionals from every country in
southern Africa, Europe, the United States, Australia, met in a mini World
Wilderness Congress. Their information, findings and recommendations are in
included in this handsome, well-produced, amply illustrated volume, which will
become a benchmark in African wilderness conservation.
