The park management finally agreed to our terms and committed to fixing the fences immediately. I am completely overwhelmed that this happened because you chose to stand with our farmers. Please keep a close watch on the fields to make sure these promises become reality.

As a result of the mismanagement of Namaqua National Park, the farmers are being robbed of our income and our livelihood.
The management of Namaqua National Park is neglecting to:
- Erect and maintain proper fences to keep predators inside the park and off our farms
- Comply with the law on fences according to National Environmental Management Protected Act 2003 (Act No 57/2003)
- Sustainably manage the veld inside Namaqua National Park
- Provide adequate water and food to the animals living inside Namaqua National Park, forcing them to seek food and water elsewhere
- Employ enough people to manage the above effectively
- Respect the rights of their neighbours, the Farmers
- Manage the economic and social impact of their activity in Namaqualand.
We care about the environment. We care about our animals. We care about our community. We demand that Namaqua National Park starts to do the same.
If you care too, please sign our petition so that we can hand it over to SANparks and demand change.

Voor die proklamering van die park is daar die versekering gegee dat die grens heinings van die park so danig sal wees dat daar geen ongediertes kan deur kom nie en dat dit beleid is om goeie verhoudinge met bure te handhaaf en sodoende konflik te vermy
Listen to the outcry for help from the Farmers of Namaqualand! Their request is fair and reasonable. Set up a meeting with them, put an action plan in place and stick to it. Namaqua Natoinal Park inability to solve this challenge is having a negative impact on the region's social and economic well being.
Ons boere ly ongelooflike groot verliese a.g.v luiperds wat nooit n probleem was voor 2011. Sanparke en WWF het n vakuum geskep en so het hierdie diere weer terug gekom of is dalk terug gebring,hoe sal ons weet. Feit van saak is,wilde diere moet in die Park gehou word en nie op boere se plase. Ons is ekstensiewe veeboere,so ook die opkomende en kommunale boere wat hier onder ly.
Please do what you must do. I lost many animals because of poor fences and that you do not repair your part or make it higher
Mismanagement of financial - and staff recources also contribute to the poor condition of the Park's infrastructure and negligence by management to conform. To the detriment of the local farmers, their livestock and have a devastating on their income. The latter which they need to successfully contribute to SA's foodchain and ensure job stability for their staff.
Park se drade is uiters ondoeltreffend
I am a farmer and their is no interaction with NNP and farmers so that we all can protect our resource,the land,together
