WINDHOEK: The Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) will hold a two-day workshop here this week to review Namibia’s first National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP).

The NBSAP workshop commences tomorrow, and will review the first NBSAP which covered the period 2001 to 2010, and will also gather inputs for a new NBSAP for the period 2012 to 2020.

The NBSAPs are the main national-level instruments for implementing the provisions of the United Nations’ Convention on Biological Diversity, and are aimed at integrating biodiversity and broader environmental concerns into other sectors and national decision-making.

A media statement issued by MET here today explained that the workshop will take stock of achievements and progress made through the first NBSAP, as well as the challenges that were experienced.

The workshop will also identify key priorities that will be taken forward for inclusion in the second NBSAP.

2 (RUNDU) – The Namibian Police Force (NamPol) in the Kavango Region have registered a total of 281 cases of drugs, of which 305 suspects were arrested between June last year June this year.

A total of 561 kilogrammes of marijuana with a street value of N.dollars 1,6 million was seized during that period.

Countrywide, the police also seized 13 mandrax tablets valued at N.dollars 1 560 and 29 pieces of crack cocaine worth N.dollars 4 900.

These successes were disclosed by Coordinator of the Namibian Police Drug Awareness Campaign, Deputy Commissioner Elias Mutota, during the launch of the national drug awareness campaign at Rundu yesterday.
Mutota said 15 years back, Namibia was only regarded as a transit route of illegal drugs to neighbouring countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region for further distribution, but nowadays drug criminals have found a potential market amongst Namibian youth, who are now using all types of drugs such as dagga, mandrax, cocaine and heroin.
