Fillemon Aupokolo has more than six years of experience in environmental management. Currently, Fillemon is employed at NamWater Ltd as an environmentalist. He is tasked with ensuring that NamWater's water sources are protected and that the company's developments are compliant with Namibia's environmental policies and regulations.
