  • Zanzibar Island, Tanzania
    Zanzibar Island, Tanzania Zanzibar is renowned for white sandy beaches, exquisite remnants of Stone Town, the Swahili culture, aroma of exotic spices, azure cloudless skies, diverse coastal reefs and pervading Indian Ocean. It's no wonder that French Poet Rimbaud once sought inspiration from this charming destination. This archipelago is a winning combination of Arabic, Persian, and Indian culture. Wait no more and start your expedition to this less explored 'Coast of the Blacks.' History Zanzibar was originally inhabited by the Bantu people from mainland of Africa 3,000-4,000 years ago. The name of this group of islands was derived from the Persian word 'Zangi-bar' (Zangi = Black, Bar = the Place of). Later, the Arabian invaders changed it to Zanzibar. Things to Do in Zanzibar Look no further than Zanzibar, this place is best equipped for trying out something for the very first time such as riding a Dhow (traditional wooden sailboats) on the sea or kite-surfing on a beach. Explore Stone Town (Mji Mkongwe) – It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since the year 2000. House of Wonders (Beit-al-Ajaib) is the most recognized landmark in this old part of the city. The Old Fort, The Palace Museum, The Anglican cathedral of Christ Church, Hamamni Persian Baths, and Slavery Memorial are main tourist attractions here. About 50 mosques and a few Hindu temples speak for the multiculturalism of this enchanting town. Visit Museums: Beit el-Sahel, Beit el-Ajaib, and Beit el-Amani offer an insight into rich Swahili culture, history of East Africa, and marine life of Indian Ocean.

  • Preliminary Assessment of Coastal Management Initiatives in Zanzibar
    Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership Preliminary Assessment of Coastal Management Initiatives in Zanzibar Farhat Mbarouk, Jeremiah Daffa, Tom Bayer and Siddharth Kamalia ICM Technical Group 2003 Working Document: 5076TCMP A joint initiative between the National Environment Management Council, the University of Rhode Island/Coastal ResourcesCenter and the United States Agency for International Developement 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Zanzibar archipelago comprises of two main Islands, Unguja and Pemba, and 50 other smaller islets. Some of the smaller islands are habitable while most are devoid of human settlements. Unguja and Pemba cover 1,464 and 868 sq kms respectively. The islands of Zanzibar are situated between 5-6 degrees South and 40 degrees east in the Indian Ocean. According to the 2002 census the current population is estimated to be around 985,000 people with a distribution of 623,000 and 362,000 for Unguja and Pemba respectively. Table 1 summarizes the population distribution in Unguja and Pemba. The climate of the Islands of Zanzibar is highly influenced by the monsoon wind regime. As for the Island of Unguja the environment is divided into four main ecological zones: the none-arable coral rag land of the east, the deeper fertile soils of the west, the coastal and marine zone and the urban area which lies within the coastal zone. The coastal region is of critical importance to Zanzibar. Over half of the nation’s population lives in coastal villages and town (Map 1). The coastal zone provides most of the natural resources that its population relies upon for sustenance. Most coastal inhabitants engage in fishing, mangrove woodcutting (for cooking, construction purposes, and sale), subsistence farming, coastal thicket harvesting and livestock keeping.

  • Whom It May Concern – a Case Study of Local Participation in Community-Based
    Södertörn University College | Department of Natural Sciences Bachelor’s Degree 15 ECTS | Environment and Development science | Spring term 2008 Whom it May Concern – A Case Study of Local Participation in Community-Based Nature Resource Management of the Mangrove Forest on Zanzibar By: Linn Rabe Supervisor: Fred Saunders Södertörns Högskola “Whom it May Concern” Linn Rabe Whom it May Concern – A Case Study of Local Participation in Community-Based Nature Resource Management of Mangrove Forest on Zanzibar. Abstract Local participation, especially in managing systems of socio- natural resources, has been promoted as the answer to the puzzle about sustainable development. Community-Based Nature Resource Management (CBNRM) is an approach that has generally praised as the way to support genuine participation of ‘local people’ and empower them through the process. This paper examines how local participation in conservation projects works in practice. To do this literature around the rise of people-centred conservation models and participation are reviewed. This information is then used to consider a CBNRM case study in Pete, Zanzibar to reveal actions that promote or constrain local participation. The conclusions of this paper suggest that without a secure means of delegated power or the ability to influence meaningful decisions it is unlikely that a community will mobilize itself for the sake of common resources. In Pete, the conditions around the establishment and operation of the CBNRM have not facilitated effective local participation,

  • Community-Based Natural Resource Management of the Jozani-Pete Mangrove Forest: Do They Have a Voice?
    Western Indian Ocean J. Mar. Sci. Vol. 12. No. 2, pp. 133-150, 2013 © 2014 WIOMSA Community-based Natural Resource Management of the Jozani-Pete Mangrove Forest: Do They Have a Voice? Linn Rabe and Fred Saunders School of Life Sciences, Södertörn University, 141 89 Huddinge, Sweden. Keywords: Community-based Natural Resource Management, CBNRM, public participation, common pool, mangroves, resources, Zanzibar Abstract — Local participation, especially in natural resource management, has been promoted as a key strategy in the quest for sustainable development. Community-based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) is an approach that has generally been promoted as an institution that genuinely includes and empowers ‘local people' in natural resource use and management. This paper examines how local participation in conservation projects works in practice by drawing on concepts from institutional and actor-oriented theories and applying a case study approach to examine community-based mangrove management at Jozani-Pete, Zanzibar. Here CBNRM became embedded within a conservation agenda that resulted in conflict, resistance, frustration and uncertainty amongst community members. The paper offers insight into how exogenously initiated CBNRM projects have difficulty gaining traction unless they both address existing power relations and deliver on promises of material benefits. If they fail to do so the experience of the Jozani-Pete case study suggests that CBNRM may work to further marginalize already marginalized people. INTRODUCTION concerns, with little regard given to community Community-based Nature Resource heterogeneity and their related diversity in Management (CBNRM) is an approach to aspirations (Li, 2002). This article contributes conservation that emphasises the participation to the polarized debate on CBNRM using and empowerment of ‘local people’.
