Description:
Namibia is known for its arid climate and the flora and fauna that have adapted to these conditions over many generations. The livelihoods of most people depend directly on the land. Therefore, a large portion of Namibia is used for agriculture, natural resource extraction, and tourism. The country mainly exports raw materials and imports most of its goods and services.
