WINDHOEK, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Namibia's Ministry of Environment and Tourism has revised the national policy on Human Wildlife Conflict in efforts to contain incidents that have escalated over the years in the south-west African country.

Cases of human wildlife conflict in the country become more frequent over the years with communities and farmers expressing concern regarding the issue, said the Environment Ministry spokesperson, Romeo Muyunda on Friday.

"In this regard, we have revised the 2009 Human Wildlife Conflict policy to look at new strategies to better address the situation," he added.

Human wildlife conflict is any event in which animals injure, destroy or damage human life or property and are killed, injured, captured or otherwise harmed as a result both humans and animals suffer from the interaction with each other.

Muyunda said that the policy which covers human deaths, injuries, livestock losses and crop damages by wildlife will be officially launched next week by the Environment Minister, Pohamba Shifeta.

Meanwhile last year the ministry launched the North-West Human Lion Conflict Management Plan with specific strategies to manage lion conflicts with human, because retaliatory killing and loss of habitat had become the order of the day.
