World Wildlife Fund's Gift Catalog - 2008-2009 - (Page 45) Adopt a Meerkat The meerkat is neither a cat nor a monkey, but a member of the mongoose family. They live in groups called mobs and often stand at attention to watch for predators. Meerkats have been observed “teaching” their young the finer points of life, such as how to eat a scorpion without being poisoned. $100 MEERKAT MOB $50 $25 NAMIBIA BOTSWANA CTME2 WWF: NAMIBIA Priority Place Boundary TWO ADULT MEERKATS CTME2 A F R I C A ® MEERKAT MOB (Two adults & three babies with a $100 donation) Namibia S Namibia is one of the most geographically diverse countries in the world. Here you will find dense woodlands, arid deserts, savannahs rich in biodiversity and over 1,000 miles of coastline. While conservation successes have been achieved, competition over natural resources remains a challenge, and protecting animals and habitats — while giving people sustainable economic opportunities — remains a priority. Area: 318,696 square miles Global threats: Overgrazing, overfishing, water resource management, agricultural subsidies and tourism Key wildlife: Black rhinoceros, African wild dogs, Hartman’s mountain zebras, cheetahs and Namib long-eared bats WWF solutions: WWF works with the National Community Based Conservation Program, working in 50 community conservancies around the country. We’re also supporting the Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation. Since 1998, this program has engaged more than 220,000 community members with the creation and stewardship of 50 communal conservancies, covering more than 29 million acres of prime wildlife habitat.
