Hello, Readers, and interested partners,
I would like to share with you the following information, this that, The Conservancy is dedicated to understanding and resolving conflicts that, occur between Large Mammals/Predators, particularly Lions, and Human Communities utilizing the Tarangire- Manyara Ecosystem in Northern Tanzania.

The Tarangire-Manyara Ecosystem is renowned for its high concentration of Wildlife Species, Including Elephants, Buffaloes, Wildebeests, Zebras,Giraffes, Enlands, Impala, Thompson Gazelles, Grants Gazelles, Lesser kudu, Dik diks, Warthogs, Rabbits, Baboons, Monkeys, and Ostriches, which sustain Predators such as Lions, Leopards, Hyenas, Cheetahs, and Wild dogs.

However, the area is experiencing intense land pressure, and Conservationists fear that populations are declining. The Conservancy evaluates the abundance of large Predators in the Tarangire- Manyara Ecosystem as well as compares the diverse interactions between several Human Communities (Pastoralists and Tourists) and Lions that affect the Survival of Lions and the Livelihoods of Local people.

LIVESTOCK- PREDATORS CONFLICT;
Monitors incidences of Livestock predation and develops altenative strategies for reducing conflicts.
This Conservation programme requires significant logistical and Financial support so as to maintain Local Anti-poaching Teams, in facilitating preventing illegal hunting and normal Routine of patrolling.
Thanking you in advance.
Boniface Ngimojino.
