+++ 18 May 2021. Hamburg's environmental authority has suspended the review process on the feasibility of using Namibian bush biomass until further notice. The Centre for Econics and Ecosystem management has recently prepared a report for the Deutsche Umwelhilfe on the subject of bush encroachment in Namibia.
