Shark Island or "Death Island" was one of five concentration camps located on Shark Islandoff Lüderitz, in Central Namibia. It was used by the German Empire during the Herero and Namaqua genocide of 1904–1908. Between 1,032 and 3,000 Herero and Namaqua men, women, and children died in the camp between its opening in 1905 and its closing in April 1907. 

The Namibian Wilidlife Resort is offering camping at Shark Island against the wishes of the local people. This is an abhorrent display of disregard and disrespect for the pain of the victims of the 1904-1908 genocide and their descendants by the company and should not be allowed in the country that is still dealing with the aftermath of that atrocity. 

We also demand that Shark Island be turned into a national heritage and remembrance site and that no tourists or locals be allowed to visit the site if it is not for educational (day tours) purposes.
