    The Assessment of elephant poaching in the population of the Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania Moses Titus Kyando Natural Resources Management Submission date: May 2014 Supervisor: Eivin Røskaft, IBI Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Biology The Assessment of elephant poaching in the population of the Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania Moses Titus Kyando Master’s thesis in Natural Resources Management Programme Norwegian University of Science and Technology Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology Supervisor : Professor Eivin Røskaft (Department of Biology) Trondheim, May 2014 1 Dedication This thesis work is dedicated to my late mother Lucia Hussein Chumi for her love, care encouragement and support through the early stage of my life. 2 Abstract Elephant poaching is a significant problem in Tanzania and many parts of Africa. This study assess the patterns of elephant poaching for the international ivory trade on the population of the Eastern Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania. Data for assessing the patterns of elephants poaching from 2009 to 2013 were acquired by doing inventory on the demography of poached skulls in the field and assessing confiscated tusks. This is to infer the age and sex of killed elephants; also the season of death were obtained during the field assessment. By combining inferences of age and sex, poaching patterns of African elephants were assessed. Data on the distribution of poached elephants and the effect of poaching on the trophy-quality from tourist hunting were obtained from elephant mortality database of the Selous Game Reserve in the Eastern and North-eastern sectors. The GPS coordinates to determine the distribution of poached elephants were randomly collected by rangers during their daily patrol routine.

This article deals specifically with African discoveries 24 and excludes nearby Madagascar. African discoveries have ranged from the cedar forests of 25 northern Algeria, site of the discovery of the Algerian Nuthatch 26 27 (above), all the way south to the east coast of South Africa. 28 29 ome of the recent bird discoveries in Africa have come case, of their discoverer. In 1972, the late Dr Alexandre 30 Sfrom explorations of poorly-known areas, such as the Prigogine described a new species of greenbul from 31 remote highland forests of eastern Zaïre. Other new spe- Nyamupe in eastern Zaïre, which he named Andropadus 32 cies have been described by applying modern molecular hallae. The bird has never been seen or collected since and 33 techniques capable of detecting major genetic differences Prigogine himself subse- quently decided that 34 between birds that were previously thought to be races of the specimen was of a melanis- 35 the same species. The recent ‘splitting’ of the Northern tic Little Greenbul Andropadus 36 and Southern black korhaans Eupodotis afraoides/afra of virens, a species with a 37 southern Africa is one example.

    United Republic of Tanzania The United Republic of Tanzania Jointly prepared by Ministry of Finance and Planning, National Bureau of Statistics and Njombe Regional Secretariat Njombe Region National Bureau of Statistics Njombe Dodoma November, 2020 Njombe Region Socio-Economic Profile, 2018 Foreword The goals of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are pursued through the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) or MKUKUTA II. The major goals are to achieve a high-quality livelihood for the people, attain good governance through the rule of law and develop a strong and competitive economy. To monitor the progress in achieving these goals, there is need for timely, accurate data and information at all levels. Problems especially in rural areas are many and demanding. Social and economic services require sustainable improvement. The high primary school enrolment rates recently attained have to be maintained and so is the policy of making sure that all pupils who passed Primary School Leaving Examination must join form one. The Nutrition situation is still precarious; infant and maternal mortality rates continue to be high and unemployment triggers mass migration of youths from rural areas to the already overcrowded urban centres. Added to the above problems, is the menace posed by HIV/AIDS, the prevalence of which hinders efforts to advance into the 21st century of science and technology. The pandemic has been quite severe among the economically active population leaving in its wake an increasing number of orphans, broken families and much suffering. AIDS together with environmental deterioration are problems which cannot be ignored.

    UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA PRESIDENT’S OFFICE REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT STRATEGIC PLAN FOR BAGAMOYO DISTRICT COUNCIL 2016/2017-2020/2021 District Executive Director Bagamoyo District Council P. O. Box 59. Bagamoyo, Pwani Tel: 023-2440164 Fax: 023-2440338 Email: [email protected] October, 2016 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Strategic Plan (SP) provides a conducive environment to restrain the negative challenges, create sustainable livelihoods for citizen within Bagamoyo District Council. Its preparation has taken into account the strategic location of the District within the lens of its competitive and comparative advantages relative to other district councils. Impliedly, the SP has considered not only the strategic sites for tourism activities, but also fishery industry. In promoting human transformation and socio-economic development to its community, Bagamoyo District Council is committed to provide high quality services for sustainable development of the community by 2025 through utilization of available resources. The council’s vision and mission are realized through strategic objectives which are coded from A to J. This strategic plan is a result of participatory process that involved several actors from the Management team of the District council. Among others include the head of departments, head of units and consortium of other stakeholders. Moreover, analysis of internal and external environment was conducted where both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analysed with intent of finding out the nature and level of service delivery, as well as community satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the services. That path necessitated understanding critical issues from each sector at the level of District council, of which strategic goals were identified, ranked and considered in the next five years.
