Napha committed to protecting conservation hunting
Namibia Professional Hunting Association (Napha) president Axel Cramer has assured all stakeholders in the hunting sector of their commitment to fulfilling their mandate to protect conservation hunting in Namibia.
In Napha's official Christmas message, he acknowledged that the world is currently in a troubled, conflict-ridden state, with the various wars continuing at the moment.
He highlighted that while some African countries are unstable and poorly governed, the continent holds the world’s greatest diversity and concentration of wildlife.
Cramer said that as 2024 comes to an end, the hunting fraternity can reflect on a very good year with positivity and look forward to 2025 with new hope.
“We heard very interesting topics, presentations and debates during our 50th annual general meeting held in the first week of December. The executive committee and the office have taken stock of the event and listened to your concerns and recommendations, especially during our closed session.”
He said they will be making improvements based on feedback, enhancing communication and remaining transparent to ensure 2025 is a successful year for all.

Cramer added that at the first executive committee meeting after the AGM, they reaffirmed the existing portfolio of Harm Woortman as treasurer and Hannes du Plessis as Napha vice president.
Newly elected Sigurd Hess will focus on concessions and conservancies as well as representing the committee on the dangerous game committee. Jacques Strauss will continue with his emphasis as committee liaison and steer the young hunter's committee on behalf of the committee.
“Year after year, we remain thankful and humble to service our members, their spouses as well as our stakeholders on a collective journey," he said.
Cramer underlined that Napha serves a higher mission – the preservation of life in all its diversity. “Friendship in our association means putting our own needs aside to stand up for the good of the whole. Only when we truly understand and support each other can we achieve great things.”
