Magembe L ( .Pdf ) TRANSFORMATION OF VALLEY-BOTTOM CULTIVATION AND ITS EFFECTS ON TANZANIAN WETLANDS: A CASE STUDY OF NDEMBERA WETLAND AREA IN IRINGA REGION By LUCY MAGEMBE A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 © 2007 Lucy Magembe 2 To my son, George, and daughter, Iman, who fill my life with joy and whose presence encourages me to fight my battles earnestly so as to be able to provide for them. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people provided invaluable support. Since it is impossible to acknowledge each person individually, I extend my sincere appreciation to all who played a part in this work. However, I feel obligated to thank individually a few people who have given generously of their time, knowledge, expertise, and moral support. First and foremost, I extend my deep appreciation to my supervisory committee chair (Dr. Michael Binford) for his invaluable assistance, advice, and encouragement. He practically challenged me to work independently but continued to stimulate my analytical thinking, enabling me to improve my writing skills. I am indebted to my committee members Dr. Abe Goldman and Dr. Sandra Russo for helping me grow intellectually and develop a more focused thesis. Their input to this work and their attention are highly appreciated. I extend my sincere gratitude to my sponsors, The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Africa-America Institute (AAI), who made my stay in the United States content and without whose financial support this work would not have come to fruition. In Tanzania, I would like to thank the people of Iringa and Mufindi Districts for their time, support, and kindness. Sincerest appreciation is extended to the District Facilitation Teams and to WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) staff for their endless support during fieldwork. I thank members of staff and students of the Geography Department at the University of Florida for their moral support and for providing a social and academic atmosphere in which I was able to grow. My gratitude goes to my husband, George Magembe, my sister Annamarie Kiaga, and my late mom, Mrs. Tabitha Kashaija for their continued love, support, encouragement, and for believing in me. 4 No words can express how grateful I am to the Mkanta family for allowing me to stay with them for endless weeks while completing my thesis. A heartfelt gratitude goes especially to Dr. William Mkanta for his assistance in statistical methods. Anna Mushi, Tunu Mndeme, Simon Mwansasu and Juma Rajabu Mshana are acknowledged for their assistance in perfecting the aerial photo interpretation and GIS analysis. Lastly, I give thanks and praises to the Almighty God for the blessings in my life, but mostly for enabling me endure the stresses associated with graduate schooling. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS page

DSM, Tz. 1 - 142 pp. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Eastern Arc Mountain forests in Mufindi District lie at the south-western extreme of the Eastern Arc. The forests are found on the Mufindi plateau at the top of the Mufindi escarpment. The plateau includes a mosaic of forest, commercial tea cultivation, pine and eucalyptus plantation, coffee and subsistence agriculture. The forests of Mufindi are highly fragmented and many of them show high levels of disturbance some of which dates back over 50 years. Lovett & Pócs (1993) suggest that parts of the larger Mufindi forests such as Kigogo were cultivated in the mid 19th Century and cite the presence of agricultural ridges under the forest.

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 Tservices 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 pass standard seven examinations join Form One. The food situation is still precarious; infant and maternal mortality rates continue are 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.

The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the US Agency for International Development or the United States Government. ENVISION Project Overview The US Agency for International Development (USAID)’s ENVISION project (2011–2019) is designed to support the vision of the World Health Organization (WHO) and its member states by targeting the control and elimination of seven neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including lymphatic filariasis (LF), onchocerciasis (OV), schistosomiasis (SCH), three soil-transmitted helminths (STH; roundworm, whipworm, and hookworm), and trachoma. ENVISION’s goal is to strengthen NTD programming at global and country levels and support ministries of health (MOHs) to achieve their NTD control and elimination goals. At the global level, ENVISION—in close coordination and collaboration with WHO, USAID, and other stakeholders—contributes to several technical areas in support of global NTD control and elimination goals, including the following: • Drug and diagnostics procurement, where global donation programs are unavailable • Capacity strengthening • Management and implementation of ENVISION’s Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) • Disease mapping • NTD policy and technical guideline development • NTD monitoring and evaluation (M&E).
