Ambassador Mahiga, in his welcoming remarks said “Tanzania, the largest country in East Africa, with its rich cultural heritage, history, world renowned wildlife and natural wonders, archeological monuments, miles of beautiful white sand beaches along the Indian Ocean coast, offers visitors a diverse array of attractions. But just as important to the visitor, Tanzania, since its independence in 1961, has enjoyed peace and stability in a democratic environment. “This in fact has been one of the themes of H.E. President Kikwete’s mission to the US, to promote the excellent en- vironment that Tanzania offers for tourism as well as tourism investment. Tanzania’s most famous attractions include Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa; the Serengeti, home of the unparallel spectacle of the annual animal migrations; the Selous, world’s largest Game Reserve; The Ngorongoro Crater, often called the Eighth wonder of the World, and the Olduvai Gorge (cradle of mankind); and the exotic spice islands of Zanzibar. With more than 25% of the country protected, there are 14 National Parks including Saadani, a unique marine/bush park along the Indian Ocean Coast, and 13 Game Reserves.

It is named after the Hollywood film 'Hatari!' (meaning 'danger' in Swahili), starring John Wayne and his German co-star Hardy Krüger and filmed in the area in 1960. The many months of filming ‘Hatari’ interrupted Hardy Krüger’s new and promising Hollywood career, as Africa got into his blood and he decided he didn’t want to leave. Today his former home, and that of his manager, Jim Mallory, form part of Hatari Lodge. Now a 'luxury bush hotel,' Hatari Lodge consists of three buildings allowing views onto the Momella meadow, rich with wildlife, and across to the majestic Hatari Lodge on the slopes of Mount Meru.

  • Umbrella Species: Critique and Lessons from East Africa
    Animal Conservation (2003) 6, 171–181 © 2003 The Zoological Society of London DOI:10.1017/S1367943003003214 Printed in the United Kingdom Umbrella species: critique and lessons from East Africa T. M. Caro Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology, University of California, Davis, CA 96516, USA Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute, P.O. Box 661, Arusha, Tanzania (Received 28 April 2002; accepted 26 November 2002) Abstract Umbrella species are ‘species with large area requirements, which if given sufficient protected habitat area, will bring many other species under protection’. Historically, umbrella species were employed to delineate specific reserve boundaries but are now used in two senses: (1) as aids to identifying areas of species richness at a large geographic scale; (2) as a means of encompassing populations of co-occuring species at a local scale. In the second sense, there is a dilemma as to whether to maximize the number or viability of background populations; the umbrella population itself needs to be viable as well. Determining population viability is sufficiently onerous that it could damage the use of umbrella species as a conservation shortcut. The effectiveness of using the umbrella-species concept at a local scale was investigated in the real world by examining reserves in East Africa that were gazetted some 50 years ago using large mammals as umbrella species. Populations of these species are still numerous in most protected areas although a few have declined. Populations of other, background species have in general been well protected inside reserves; for those populations that have declined, the causes are unlikely to have been averted if reserves had been set up using other conservation tools.
