2018 Simanjiro Easement Report 2018 SIMANJIRO EASEMENT REPORT INTRODUCTION Tarangire National Park boasts one of the largest elephant population in Tanzania, along with an array of other wildlife species numbering in the thousands including migratory zebra, buffalo, and wildebeest. The crux of the matter is that this national park protects less than 10% of the actual ecosystem defined by the seasonal movements of Tarangire’s migratory wildlife. For more than half of the year, animals disperse throughout the Maasai Steppe and onto surrounding community lands. The Simanjiro Plains to the east, with its soils and grasses rich in minerals (phosphorus and calcium), are one of - if not the most - critical pieces of the ecosystem puzzle. Wildebeest, zebra and other species depend on these grasslands to successfully breed and lactate during the rainy season from November through May. In 2004, alarmed by conversion of this critical habitat to agriculture in Simanjiro, an informal group of concerned tour operators with a vested interest in the integrity of the ecosystem enlisted the help of the Ujamaa Community Resource Team (UCRT) to help them engage with Simanjiro villages. The easements, voluntary agreements by the villages of Terrat and Sukuro to keep large areas of grassland from being farmed were an outgrowth of several meetings. These contractual agreements stipulated land use conditions, e.g., no agriculture or permanent settlement in return for annual fees paid directly into village accounts. The Wildlife Conservation Society (of New York) adds value by providing funds to hire and train village game scouts who patrol the plains as an anti-poaching force and also provide monitoring data on wildlife population trends.

  • Upper Hiwassee/Coker Creek Assessment
    Cherokee National Forest USDA Forest Service Southern Region Roads Analysis Report Upper Hiwassee/Coker Creek Assessment September 2005 BACKGROUND On January 12, 2001, the National Forest System Road Management rule was published in the Federal Register. The adoption of the final rule revised the regulations concerning the management, use, and maintenance of the National Forest Transportation System. The purpose of this road analysis is to provide line officers with critical information to develop road systems that are safe and responsive to public needs and desires, are affordable and efficiently managed, have minimal negative ecological effects on the land, and are in balance with available funding for needed management actions. SCOPE The Upper Hiwassee/Coker Creek Assessment area is approximately 44,747 acres in size with approximately 21,468 of those acres National Forest System land (48% ownership). The majority of the assessment area (17,754 ac) is in Management Prescription (MP) 9.H of the Cherokee National Forest Revised Land and Resource Management Plan. Other MPs represented include: 4.F (443 ac), 7.B (2,126 ac), and 8.B (1,145 ac). Figure 1 displays the location of the analysis area within the Ocoee/Hiwassee Ranger District of the Cherokee National Forest. OBJECTIVES The main objectives of this road analysis are to: • Identify the need for change by comparing the current road system to the desired condition. • Inform the line officer of important ecological, social, and economic issues related to roads within the analysis area. EXISTING SYSTEM ROAD CONDITIONS Most of the study area is on National Forest System land, and of the roads assessed in and near the boundary of this study area, most are National Forest System Roads (NFSRs) under the jurisdiction and maintenance of the Forest Service.

  • Easements, Access and Riparian Rights a Guide to the Laws Governing Access to Michigan’S Lakes, Streams and Waterways
    | 1 Easements, Access and Riparian Rights A Guide to the Laws Governing Access to Michigan’s Lakes, Streams and Waterways Daniel P. Dalton, Larry Opalewski, Alex Reuter and Adel Nucho | 2 Do you own or plan to purchase property on or near a Michigan lake or other waterbody? Are you concerned about others using your property to access the water without your permission? Understanding the laws governing easements, riparian rights and access to waterways, and how those laws relate to your property, is crucial to ensuring your ability to enjoy it. So what do you need to know? | 3 ith more than 11,000 inland lakes in the state of Michigan, many property disputes arise concerning W the rights and interests of those owning land on and around them1. Most disputes that make it to court involve lakefront property owners seeking to prevent backlot owners from accessing or using the lake in a certain manner. This paper will give you a better understanding of your property rights—whether you own or plan to purchase property on or near a waterbody. Specifically, you will learn the significance of own- ing land that touches a waterbody, as opposed to being near the same. Additionally, it will explain how you can legally access a waterbody using another person’s private property. The Michigan-based land use and zoning attorneys of Dalton & Tomich, PLC have helped clients defend their rights to use and access lakes and other waterbodies across the state of Michigan. If you own property on or near a Michigan lake, or you plan to purchase such property soon, please contact us.

  • Basic Water Rights Doctrines and Their Implications for River Basin Development
    BASIC WATER RIGHTS DOCTRINES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR RIVER BASIN DEVELOPMENT Wzu..s A. HUTCHINS* AND HARRY A. STmEI I INTRODUCTION In transmitting the report of his Advisory Committee on Water Resources Policy, the President stated that "the policies we adopt for the development of our water resources will have a profound effect in the years to come upon our domestic, agri- cultural and industrial economy."1 The report estimates that the demand for water in the nation will almost double by 1975 and that there must be a substantial increase in the beneficial use of water.2 This will require increased development by individuals and corporations, as well as by public agencies. The river basin is now generally accepted as the appropriate physiographic unit for planning and developing water resource utilization. The interrelated and competing uses of water within a river basin, however, often give rise to varied and complex problems that appear susceptible of solution only by the integrated action of all in- terests, public and private, within the basin's natural boundaries3 Thus, while group development of water resources has always been important, new impetus has been given to watershed, small project, ground-water basin, multipurpose project, and river and interriver basin programs, which appear to promise greater efficacy than development undertaken on an individual basis. State water laws, which have been framed with reference to individual action in developing water resources in the past, may not, accordingly, be adequate for the future. In this connection, several important and troublesome areas have been pointed out.4 The increasing consumptive use of water in the riparian-doctrine eastern states, for example, has created an interest in the appropriation doctrine as it might apply there.
