Predator Conservation Trust: Brown Hyena information

Brown Hyenas are found throughout Namibia except possibly the eastern Caprivi. They are mainly seen all
along the coastline, Etosha National Park, throughout the north and to Bushmanland in the Northeast. Their numbers are estimated to be 500-1000 in
Namibia. The main concentrations are along the coast in the southern part
of the country and in Etosha National Park. The most recent population
estimate (2004) for Brown Hyenas in Namibia was between 500 and 1200 animals.
The total Brown Hyena population is estimated to be between 5000 and 8000
individuals.
TROPHY HUNTING IN NAMIBIA AND CITES
Although Brown Hyena are no longer listed on CITES, they are a
protected species in Namibia and not trophy hunted, although they are shot when
they come in to conflict with people (However as stated before they rarely kill
livestock).
