INTRODUCING THE PROJECT The aim of this project is to develop innovative approaches to community involvement in tourism planning that communities and responsible tourism businesses across Tanzania can all benefit from. The project is co-ordinated by the Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF), and implemented by a team consisting of representatives from TNRF, Ujamaa Community Resource Trust (UCRT), Honey- guide Foundation and Tasconsult. Funding is provided by the IUCN’s Ecosystem Grants Programme and Sand County Foundation’s Bradley Fund for the Environment. The project will run from April 2009 to March 2010. The geographical area is Ngorongoro District in the villages of Piyaya, Engaresero, Pinyinyi and Arash. These villages are involved because of existing, or high potential for tourism activities in the area. There are already established relationships between these villages and Honeyguide and UCRT. Goal of the project Better planned tourism to directly improve local livelihoods and rangeland ecosystem management through ethical business partnerships with rural communities. Objectives x To produce participatory adaptive management plans for tourism in four villages in the Lake Natron and Loliondo areas of Ngorongoro District. x To produce a toolkit of best practices derived from the workshop and the project’s accumulated experience for use in other private investor-community initiatives involving tourism. Introducing the baseline survey The baseline surveys which were carried out in May and June 2009 were designed to serve several purposes. The questions aimed to elicit information forming a basis for evaluation at the end of the project period and beyond. In addition, the surveys aimed to capture information which would en- able the project team to understand the needs and requirements of the various stakeholders and provide information to direct the project towards achieving the objectives. The information also pro- vides valuable inputs in the workshops, and can be useful to the various stakeholders.

Stakeholders analysis The participants were requested to identify all stakeholders that in one way or another can support the project positively or affect negatively the efficiency of the project. These stakeholders ranged from central government, district authorities, non-governmental organizations, religion groups and communities. The identified stakeholders were clustered. The clustering was based on their interests, expectations and possible responsibilities in the project of soda ash development project. These groups will have several responsibilities in the implementation of the Environmental and Socio-economic Management Plan. The management plan has to be implemented in collaboration of all the stakeholders. Every stakeholder identified has a certain responsibilities during the project cycle.

Report format and qualifications of parties to conduct an ESIA are well elaborated. 3.3.3 Wildlife Conservation Act (1974) The principal legislation governing wildlife utilization in Tanzania is the Wildlife Conservation Act of 1974. This Act provides the Director of Wildlife with powers to oversee the overall management of wildlife in the country. The Director is in charge of game reserves, game conservation areas, and open lands, while the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA) is in charge of the national parks (Lawyers' Environmental Action Team (LEAT).

    Sero-Prevalence and Spatial Distribution of Rift Valley Fever Infection Among Agro-Pastoral and Pastoral Communities During Inte

    Ahmed et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2018) 18:276 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-018-3183-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Sero-prevalence and spatial distribution of Rift Valley fever infection among agro- pastoral and pastoral communities during Interepidemic period in the Serengeti ecosystem, northern Tanzania Abade Ahmed1*, Jabir Makame1,2, Fyumagwa Robert3, Keyyu Julius3 and Matee Mecky2 Abstract Background: In the past two decades, Rift Valley Fever (RVF) outbreaks have been reported twice in Tanzania, with the most recent outbreak occurring in 2006/07. Given the ecology and climatic factors that support mosquito vectors in the Serengeti ecosystem, we hypothesized a continued transmission of RVF virus (RVFV) during interepidemic periods. This study was carried out to determine sero-prevalence, spatial distribution and factors associated with RVF in at-risk agro-pastoral and pastoral communities in the Serengeti Ecosystem in northern Tanzania. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out to establish the general exposure to RVFV by detecting anti–RVFV IgG and anti–RVFV IgM using ELISA techniques. The health facilities where human subjects were blood sampled concurrent with interviews included Bunda District Designated Hospital, Wasso DDH, Endulen hospital, Arash, Malambo, Olbabal, and Piyaya dispenaries (Ngorongoro district) and Nyerere DDH (Serengeti district) respectively. In addition, human subjects from Lamadi ward (Busega district) were recruited while receiving medical service at Bunda DDH. We conducted logistic regression to assess independent risk factor and mapped the hotspot areas for exposure to RVFV. Results: A total of 751 subjects (males = 41.5%; females = 58.5%) with a median age of 35.5 years were enrolled at out-patient clinics.

  • The Ecology of Cheetahs and Other Large Carnivores in a Pastoralist-Dominated Buffer Zone

    The Ecology of Cheetahs and Other Large Carnivores in a Pastoralist-Dominated Buffer Zone

    The ecology of cheetahs and other large carnivores in a pastoralist-dominated buffer zone By Thomas M. Maddox Ph.D. Thesis Department of Anthropology, University College, London & Institute of Zoology, London 2003 “No wild animals are really bad as you will be alone without them. It is good just to see and be happy” (Iltiyogoni laigwanan, Loliondo). 2 Summary Due to the various limitations of core-protected areas, interest in semi-protected landscapes and the human-wildlife interactions that occur within them is rapidly gaining credence. Some of the most important issues within this field are human- carnivore relationships, with many large carnivores globally threatened on one hand but with the capability of potentially devastating impacts on humans on the other. In this thesis, the success of cheetahs, their competitors and their predators in two buffer zones (Loliondo and Ngorongoro) of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was examined in comparison with populations living inside the park. The potential role played in carnivore ecology by the Maasai pastoralists inhabiting the buffer zones was then examined to assess the extent to which their presence determines any of the differences. The results show that large carnivores and their prey are surviving successfully outside the core-protected area, coexisting with the pastoralist Maasai. Herbivores were shown to exist at equivalent diversity and density outside the park, with the two- 2 year average prey biomass significantly higher in Loliondo than inside the park (χ 2= 49, p<0.001). The only species consistently more abundant inside the park were kongoni, topi and warthog. However, temporal variation was large and the system was better described as a single, dynamic entity rather than three distinct and comparable sites.

Box 9653, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania ____________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: We investigated mosquito sampling techniques with two types of traps and attractants at different time for trapping potential vectors for Rift Valley Fever virus. The study was conducted in six villages in Ngorongoro district in Tanzania from September to October 2012. A total of 1814 mosquitoes were collected, of which 738 were collected by CDC light traps and 1076 by Mosquito Magnet trapping technique. Of the collected mosquitoes, 12.46% (N= 226) were Aedes aegypti and 87.54% (N= 1588) were Culex pipiens complex. More mosquitoes were collected outdoors using Mosquito Magnets baited with octenol attractant, 36.38% (N=660) followed by indoor trapping using CDC light traps without attractant, 29.60% (N=537). Most of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes were collected outdoor using Mosquito Magnets, 95% (N=214) whereas Cx. pipiens complex were trapped both indoor using CDC light traps without attractant and outdoors using both CDC light traps baited with carbon dioxide (CO2) sachets and Mosquito Magnets.
