  • 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.

However, tourism that is not well planned and managed can significantly degrade the environment, and impact negatively on nearby communities. Of further concern is the distribution of the costs and benefits of nature-based tourism (NBT) in PAs, with some communities experiencing proportionally more benefits, while other communities experience more of the cost.

Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my late parents Samson Manyenye Kabou and Helena Kiziku Kulima and my bothers that always encouraged my pursuit of education. Abstract Poaching is one of the major problems in wildlife conservation and management in the Tarangire ecosystem. Unfortunately it is not easy to identify poaching hotspots because poaching activities are dynamic and concealed in nature, thus there are no standardized methods to quantify them. This study used zebra poaching data as an indicator to human exploitation. The aim of this study was to identify risk areas for zebra poaching within and around Tarangire National Park, a core area of the Tarangire ecosystem.

  • The Effect of Species Associations on the Diversity and Coexistence of African Ungulates
    The effect of species associations on the diversity and coexistence of African ungulates. By Nancy Barker For Professor Kolasa BIO306H1 – Tropical Ecology University of Toronto Wednesday, August 24th, 2005 Abstract: The effects of species associations on species diversity and coexistence were investigated in East Africa. The frequency and group sizes of African ungulates were observed and analyzed to determine for differences in species associations based on their density and distribution, as well as their associations with other species. Associations between species were determined to be nonrandom and seen to affect the demographics of associating herds. Such associations mirrored in other studies were shown to be the result of interspecific competition, habitat preferences and predation pressure which increases the potential for coexistence between species. This suggests a potentially important role in the regulation of species diversity by ecological dynamics in species rich communities. In the face of today’s biodiversity crisis, such understanding of species associations and how they are regulated may have huge implications for conservation.

  • A Guide to the Wildebeest Migration
    A Guide to the Wildebeest Migration Introduction We hope this guide will be enough to set you on the right course, without being too detailed, and as such it is not meant to be definitive. For further details we strongly recommend that you look at our vast website which discusses all the national parks and areas and hundreds of different lodges, all with in-depth reviews, prices, photos and often video. That said, nothing beats the personal touch so we strongly recommend you either pop into our offices in Putney, London, or phone to discuss. Introducing our ultimate video guide to Tanzania! Although no research tool is ever better than talking to one of our experts, we are constantly reviewing how to make safari planning easier for our clients. We have now made an excellent video guide to Tanzania; narrated by our MD Marc Harris, the video takes you through your different options around the country with maps, videos, images, flight routes/times, prices and of course, our trusted opinions and guidance. We hope it is useful – please do just click on the photo to give it a watch! The Great Migration: Clearing up confusion The Great Migration is an ongoing event in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park where a huge herd of 2 million big grazers (wildebeest, zebra and various antelope) make their way around the park following the rainfall in a roughly circular route in search for fresh pastures. It is often heralded as the most spectacular natural event on the planet today. For those who prefer visuals to words please watch our detailed animated guide of the great migration below: We will go in depth in the pages below, but as a brief overview, the wildebeest begin their journey from December – March in the south of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Ndutu) for calving season.
