Wildlife

TNRF is launching a new wildlife working group with a focus on human and wildlife conflict management. In recent years there has been increasing conflict between people and wildlife, partially caused by the rapidly expanding populations of both people and elephant among other species. For example, Tanzania's elephant population is reported to have grown from an estimated 55,000 individuals in 1990 to up to perhaps 140,000 in 2006. TNRF has recruited a Human-Wildlife Conflict Coordinator who will support the management and resolution of human-wildlife conflicts at local level with TNRF's members and partners. A key objective will be developing stronger partnerships between government and civil-society organisations through establishing vertical integration between human-wildlife conflict management initiatives on the ground, and the development of broad policy and programmes at the national level. 02-Feb-08 Please note that the resources on the WWG pages are in the process of being up-graded.
