Namibia Wildfires burnt one third of Etosha National Park; Wildlife affected

Namibia wildfires have destroyed about a third of the Etosha National Park, one of Africa’s largest tourist destinations. The blazes, which began around a week ago on 22 September 2025, originated specifically in the southwestern part of the park. Officials report the ecological damage is extensive, estimating that approximately 34% of Etosha’s area has burned, equal to nearly 7,700 square kilometers. The fires have also extended beyond the park into communal areas in the Omusati and Oshana Regions, the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism said. The Namibian government have deployed more than 500 soldiers to help. #namibia #etoshanationalpark #africa ___________________________________________________________________________ Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @d2e   __________________________________________________________________________ Down to Earth is Science and Environment fortnightly published by the Society for Environmental Communication, New Delhi.
