  • A Fire Baseline for Tanzania
    Sustainable Forest Management in a Changing Climate FAO‐Finland Forestry Programme – TANZANIA A Fire Baseline for Tanzania Dar es Salaam 2013 Executive Summary In Tanzania wild fires are reported to be increasing at an alarming rate. The problem of wildfires in Tanzania is complex and should not be addressed on a sectoral level as it concerns all the aspects related to forest and land management, prevention, suppression, and post‐fire management. It is a problem of general policy, land policy and forest policy and legislation, as much as it is a problem of equipment and capacity building within any one sector. Despite the magnitude of threat suggested, hard data on the number and extent of wildfires are lacking, most statements on the wildfire issue are based on story and opinions (Madoffe et al., 2005). Wildfires are considered to be a ‘problem’. However, the data and information to describe the extent, nature, impacts and source of wildfires have not been compiled and analyzed; this is a Fire Baseline, which is the subject of the work reported here. The main objective of this study was to elaborate “Tanzanian wildfire baseline information”, as the starting point for a Fire Information System. The step taken in compiling this fire baseline for Tanzania is a sound strategic one and should be something that is repeated in most countries that are working to understand and account for fires in their landscapes. In the preparation of the Fire Baseline there have been a series of aspects that have been indentified, which can provide a set of ongoing analyses to further refine and contribute to enhancing the insights and understanding of fire in Tanzania.

Arusha, Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute. Keywords: 1TZ/abundance/action plan/caracal/Caracal caracal/conservation/conservation action plan/distribution/ecology/Felis silvestris/Leptailurus serval/serval/wildcat Abstract: This report covers the proceedings of the First Tanzania Small Carnivore Conservation Action Plan Workshop held at TAWIRI on 19th-21st April 2006. The workshop brought together key stakeholders to assess existing information and establish a consensus on priorities for research and conservation for 28 species of small to medium carnivore in Tanzania (excluding cheetah, wild dogs, aardwolf, spotted hyaena, striped hyaena, leopard and lion, all of which were covered in other workshops). Recent records were used to confirm the presence of 27 of these species in Tanzania. These were three species of cats or felids: serval (Leptailurus serval); caracal (Caracal caracal) and wild cat (Felis silvestris). Five mustelids: Cape clawless otter (Aonyx capensis); spotted-necked otter (Hydrictis maculicollis); honey badger (Mellivora capensis); striped weasel (Poecilogale albinucha); and zorilla (Ictonyx striatus). Four canids: bat-eared fox (Otocyon megalotis); black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas); golden jackal (Canis aureus); side-striped jackal (Canis adustus). Four viverrids: common genet (Genetta genetta); large-spotted genet (Genetta maculata); servaline genet (Genetta servalina); and African civet (Viverra civettina).

  • Black Rhino Disaster in Tanzania Markus Borner
    Black Rhino Disaster in Tanzania Markus Borner The black rhino will be exterminated soon in northern Tanzania if poaching is not stopped, says the author, after surveying eight national parks and game reserves, either from the air or on the ground, or both. Tanzania is making great efforts to stop the poaching, but essential equipment is desperately short, and much more outside help is needed. The black Rhinoceros Diceros bicornis is still the most numerous of the five rhino species. But in the last few years it has been the one most heavily poached, and most East African populations have been drastically reduced. Kenya in the last ten years has lost over 90 per cent of its black rhinos, and today fewer than 1500 survive in scattered populations.13 In a recent report to the IUCN/SSC African Rhino Group Dr Esmond Bradley Martin attributed the present onslaught to an increased demand for rhino horn on the world market,4 not only for the traditional medical purposes in the Far East, but also for the new market in North Yemen, where the horns are carved into dagger handles, and where 22,645 kilos of rhino horn were imported between 1969 and 1977.4 The world market has consumed at least 7.75 tonnes of rhino horn annually in recent years, for which about 2580 rhinos were killed every year. Because of the growing demand the price in the last four years has increased some 2000 per cent, reaching a minimum wholesale price of US$675 a kilo in South-east Asia in 1979.

    The original paper was published in the Journal of the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire (1903-1925 and 1926-1950) or in Oryx, the journal of Fauna and Flora International (from 1951). The website of the journal is (from 2008): http://www.oryxthejournal.org/ The PDF is reproduced with permission from the CD version of The Centenary Archive 1903-2003, a fully searchable database of 100 years of the publications of Fauna and Flora International. More information on: http://www.fauna-flora.org/ The Society was founded in 1903 as the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire, and subsequently named the Fauna and Flora Preservation Society. Fauna & Flora International is conserving the planet’s threatened species and ecosystems – with the people and communities who depend on them. Oryx - The International Journal of Conservation, is now published quarterly by Cambridge University Press on behalf of Fauna & Flora International. It is a leading scientific journal of biodiversity conservation, conservation policy and sustainable use, with a particular interest in material that has the potential to improve conservation management and practice. The website, http://www.oryxthejournal.org/, plays a vital role in the journal’s capacity-building work. Amongst the site’s many attributes is a compendium of sources of free software for researchers and details of how to access Oryx at reduced rates or for free in developing countries. The website also includes extracts from Oryx issues 10, 25 and 50 years ago, and a gallery of research photographs that provide a fascinating insight into the places, species and people described in the journal.

Nature Conservation 6: 1–29. doi: 10.3897/natureconservation.6.5407 Abstract Tanzania rangelands are a stronghold for biodiversity harbouring a variety of animal and plant species of economic, ecological and socio-cultural importance. Efforts to protect these resources against destruction and loss have involved, among other things, setting aside some tracks of land as protected areas in the form of national parks, nature reserves, game reserves, game controlled and wildlife management areas. However, these areas and adjacent lands have long been subjected to a number of emerging issues and challenges, which complicate their management, thus putting the resources at risk of over exploitation and extinction.
