Item Gendered climate change-induced human-wildlife conflicts amidst COVID-19 in Erongo region, Namibia(Open Book Publishers, 2021) Lendelvo, Selma M.; Nghitevelekwa, Romie; Pinto, MechtildeThe risks of climate change for drier countries have become more pronounced. Small increments in temperature changes are considered to pose serious consequences for dry countries such as Namibia and Botswana, both of which have also experienced significant drought in recent years. In this chapter, we discuss climate change-induced human-wildlife conflicts (HWC) as they relate to gender, for communities in Erongo Region, west Namibia. We draw attention to the experiences of women as a vulnerable social group that is bearing climate change-induced HWC, and foreground how they are adapting to these pressures.
