It is situated in the Ngorongoro District, Arusha Region, of the United Republic of Tanzania. The conservation area was established in 1959 as a multiple land use area that was designed to promote the conservation of wildlife and other natural resources, the interests of NCA indigenous residents, and tourism. This is an unique protected area in the whole of Africa. The NCA is bordered on the south and south-east by the Lake Eyasi Escarpment and the agricultural communities of Karatu, Oldeani (Oltiyani in Maa) and Mbulumbulu. Loliondo Game Controlled Area borders NCA to the north, the Sale Plains and Lake Natron basin border the area on the north-east, Serengeti National Park borders it on the north and north-west, and to the west is Maswa Game Reserve. Among the unique features of the NCA is the Ngorongoro Crater, the floor of which covers an area of about 250 square kilometres. The Ngorongoro Crater is internationally renowned for its rich wildlife and spectacular scenery. It supports high densities of wildlife throughout the year; including one of the very few remaining populations of black rhinoceros in the country. The NCA together with Serengeti National Park and other conservation areas of the Serengeti ecosystem supports the greatest concentration of wildlife left on the earth. The short grass plains of the NCA are the wet season grazing grounds for the majority of the Serengeti’s migratory herds, numbering approximately 1.5 million wildebeest, 470,000 gazelles, and 260,000 zebra (TAWIRI, 2003). The NCA also includes the Northern Highland Forest Reserve (NHFR), which is a vital water catchment area, providing water for the NCA and to the adjacent subsistence and commercial agricultural communities of Oldeani and Karatu. The catchment area is also believed to be an important recharge area for springs supporting the ground water forests in Lake Manyara National Park. In addition to its catchment value, the highland forest of the NCA provides an important habitat for game, including black rhinoceros, elephant and buffalo and is also a refuge for grazing by pastoralists during critical drought. Two of the most important archaeological and palaeontological sites in the world; the Oldupai Gorge and the Alaitole Footprints Site at Ngarusi are found within the NCA. The conservation area contains many other palaeontological and archaeological sites and the potential for further discoveries is regarded as being high. Furthermore, the NCA is inhabited by about 60,000 people, including NCA indigenous and non-indigenous residents (URT, 2003), together with their herds of cattle, donkeys and flocks of sheep and goats. The NCA, which currently is comprised of 16 formally registered villages, has been the traditional homeland of the Maasai for nearly three centuries. There is evidence to suggest that pastoralism in one or other form has existed in the area for more than two thousand years (Homewood and Rodgers, 1991). The area is also a refuge for pastoralists from other areas during times of drought. Due to these facts, UNESCO accorded the NCA World Heritage Site status in 1979 and International Biosphere Reserve status in 1981. Its features attract many visitors, which have enabled the area to become one of the most visited tourist destinations in Tanzania and the world. Project Background Natural World Heritage sites, as with all protected areas, face many challenges which threaten their integrity. Unless addressed, these challenges can erode the outstanding universal values for which they were inscribed on the list of World Heritage Sites. Those responsible for the conservation and management of World Heritage properties have the complex task of anticipating and dealing with these challenges, most often in an environment of limited financial and organizational capacity. Under these circumstances, it is incumbent upon them to invest their efforts in the most critical areas, ensuring that available resources are applied to their maximum effectiveness. A toolkit, namely “Enhancing our Heritage”, was thus developed by UNESCO for assessing the management effectiveness of World Heritage Sites. The toolkit consists of 12 different tools and assesses all aspects of protected area management. The goals of Enhancing our Heritage (EoH) are to: Contribute to adaptive management; Develop a consistent approach to management of the state of conservation and management effectiveness of World Heritage sites; and Inform World Heritage monitoring and reporting processes. 1 The implementation of EoH is supported by UNESCO and endorsed by the IUCN. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is one of the first World Heritage sites to voluntarily implement EoH in East and Southern Africa. The Project Workbook and Tool Kits The EoH Toolkit contains twelve practical tools, each designed to help those responsible for managing World Heritage (WH) sites piece together the elements of a comprehensive

  • Serengeti: Nature's Living Laboratory Transcript
    Serengeti: Nature’s Living Laboratory Transcript Short Film [crickets] [footsteps] [cymbal plays] [chime] [music plays] [TONY SINCLAIR:] I arrived as an undergraduate. This was the beginning of July of 1965. I got a lift down from Nairobi with the chief park warden. Next day, one of the drivers picked me up and took me out on a 3-day trip around the Serengeti to measure the rain gauges. And in that 3 days, I got to see the whole park, and I was blown away. [music plays] I of course grew up in East Africa, so I’d seen various parks, but there was nothing that came anywhere close to this place. Serengeti, I think, epitomizes Africa because it has everything, but grander, but louder, but smellier. [music plays] It’s just more of everything. [music plays] What struck me most was not just the huge numbers of antelopes, and the wildebeest in particular, but the diversity of habitats, from plains to mountains, forests and the hills, the rivers, and all the other species. The booming of the lions in the distance, the moaning of the hyenas. Why was the Serengeti the way it was? I realized I was going to spend the rest of my life looking at that. [NARRATOR:] Little did he know, but Tony had arrived in the Serengeti during a period of dramatic change. The transformation it would soon undergo would make this wilderness a living laboratory for understanding not only the Serengeti, but how ecosystems operate across the planet. This is the story of how the Serengeti showed us how nature works.

Box 3134, Arusha, Tanzania Executive Summary A common problem for protected area managers is illegal or unsustainable extraction of natural resources. Similarly, lack of access to an often decreasing resource base may also be a problem for rural communities living adjacent to protected areas. In Tanzania, illegal hunting of both resident and migratory wildlife is a significant problem for the management of Serengeti National Park. Poaching has already reduced populations of resident wildlife, whilst over-harvesting of the migratory herbivores may ultimately threaten the integrity of the Serengeti ecosystem. Reduced wildlife populations may in turn undermine local livelihoods that depend partly on this resource. This project examined illegal hunting from the twin perspectives of conservation and the livelihoods of people surrounding the protected area.

  • Annex 2: Action Plan for the Dynamic Conservation of the Oldonyoyokie
    ACTION PLAN FOR THE DYNAMIC CONSERVATION OF ENGARESERO VILLAGE AS A GLOBALLY IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE SYSTEM (GIAHS) AREA Project background The Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems initiative was launched by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2002 with the aim of establishing the basis for the global recognition, conservation and adaptive management of outstanding traditional agricultural systems and their associated landscapes, biodiversity, knowledge systems and cultures. The initiative aims to “protect and encourage customary use of biological resources in accordance with traditional cultural practices that are compatible with conservation or sustainable use requirements” [cf. CBD: Article10(c)], specifically within agricultural systems. In many of these systems, the prosperity of nature and the poverty of people unfortunately coexist. Therefore, the initiative does not intend to freeze systems in time, but rather calls for their “dynamic conservation”, emphasizing a balance between conservation, adaptation and socio-economic development. It aims to empower smallholder farmers/pastoralists, traditional communities and indigenous peoples to maintain their traditional agricultural systems and to create an economic stake in the conservation of (agricultural) biodiversity so that nature and people can prosper together. Within this context, the Federal Republic of Germany through the Federal Ministry of Food, agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) and the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) approved the current effort to establish sites in Kenya and Tanzania and to support the food security and reduce poverty of the local communities in GIAHS areas. In Tanzania, the Maasai Pastoral System was identified as one of the country’s best examples of a resilient system deserving of support in line with the GIAHS objectives.
