Thedayscommemoration,onMonday,1May, reflected on the challenges facing Namibian workers, the changing political and economic landscapes that are impacting workers and the high unemployment rate among the youth was pointed out as a challenge which needs to be tackled at all costs.

"We are dealing with the problem of unemployment that is threatening the future of the youth. It is regrettable to say thattherearestillemployerswhoopttooperate withlabourstandards,andsomedonotpaytheir

The President noted that during the liberation struggle, May1,WorkersDay,

Therefore, by joining the rest of the internationalcommunityin commemoratingInternational Workers Day under the theme, "Workers United in ensuring productivity for National EconomicGrowthandGuarding against Unfair Labour Practices in

Thestate-of-the-artfacilities,thefirstbiggestandmost significantdevelopmentfortheSkeletonCoastNational Park consist of housing accommodation, management systemsandadditionalparkequipment.

The infrastructure and equipment include new park management stations constructed at Cape Cross, Ugabmund, Möwe Bay and Springbokwasser in the Kunene region and the Cape Cross Seal Reserve in the Erongo Region will assist in the management of the National Parks in which they are situated and enhance biodiversityconservation.

The Minister of Environment Tourism and Forestry, Pohamba Shifeta, has expressed his excitement about the tourism sector following the inauguration and

handing over of park infrastructure and equipment in the Dorob and Skeleton Coast National Park in Namibialastweek.

Shifeta said, “the inauguration of these park management stations is the latest outcome of the excellent cooperation between the Republic of Namibiaand the FederalRepublicof Germany “This is also a clear testimony that we are working hard to establish our parks as viable tourist destinations that will benefit the people who live alongside them.” He added that the new infrastructure will improve the management of parks and service delivery – and, as a result, tourists visiting the parks will enjoy Namibia's best-kept secrets. “We continue to invest in new infrastructure development for national parks Additional infrastructure developments are currently underway at the Gobabeb Research Station and Sesriem Management Station in the Namib Naukluft ParkintheErongoregion,”Shifetasaid.Shifetanoted that the coastal parks of Cape Cross, Skeleton Coast, Dorob and Namib Naukluft are part of what has become one of the longest protected coastlines in the world,stretchingfromtheIonaNationalParkinsouthwesternAngola,borderingtheSkeletonCoastParkto the Ramsar Site at the Orange River According to Shifeta, these coastal parks' linkage with the transfrontier conservation areas creates further linkages with numerous concessions, conservancies and private conservation areas, and they offer exceptionalconservationandtourismopportunities.

The Minister urged workers at national parks in Kunene and Erongo Regions, to maintain the newly renovated facilities as it will attract more tourists and improvetheirlivelihood.

German Ambassador to Namibia Herbert Beck emphasised Namibia-Germany's common vision and values for integrating biodiversity and conservation withsustainabledevelopment.

Beckmaintainsthatthecountry'ssuccessfulintegrated protected area system relies on close cooperation between national parks, adjacent communal conservancies, and farming communities, of which Namibia is said to be leading this implementing approachinAfrica.

The Ambassador stated that he is cognizant of the various challenges and difficult financial situation of the government budget, which was heavily impacted bythecovid-19pandemicandtheongoinghikeinthe inflation rate, adding that although tourism is picking up again, the financial situation of national parks will continuetopersist.

Beck believes that the establishment of a sustainable financial mechanism is of high importance for the long-termmaintenanceandmanagementofNamParks andbothgovernmentshavealreadyagreedtothis,and itissaiditwillbecomearealitysoon.

“Nonetheless, we are convinced that the Namibian Government will continue prioritizing the sector protecting the natural heritage of global importance andsourceofincomeforsomanyNamibianfamilies', Becksaid.

“The Namibian Government has always been committedtoensurethatitspeoplebenefitfromcaring for their natural resources through its laws and regulations.As a responsible global citizen, Germany recognises its duties to support its partners in those conservation efforts and has supported Namibia since its establishment of the National Parks Programme in 2006,”Beckstated.
