Last month I went to Namibia for some fieldwork. The aim of the trip was to build relationships with our collaborators based in Namibia, and to find somewhere suitable to install a group of permanent 100x100 m vegetation monitoring plots, in woodland vegetation. I was based in Windhoek most of the time, but we made trips to Ongava Private Game Reserve, Kanovlei State Forest and Hamoye State Forest.
