Information Pack on the Wildlife Sector available as the Wildlife Conservation Bill goes to Parliament
The TNRF-Secretariat has developed an information pack on the Wildlife Sector as the new Wildlife Conservation Bill is about to be tabled in Parliament. The briefs have been developed as a resource for policy makers and the general public wanting access to independent information on the Wildlife Sector. These briefs provide information, data, and analysis about the trends of Tanzania’s wildlife populations, causes of those trends, and various links between national economic growth, poverty reduction, and wildlife management. The aim is for the information in these briefs to encourage more informed public debate about the policies and practices governing wildlife management in Tanzania.
Every effort has been made to develop a balanced and fair analysis of issues based on the best data and information available. The hunting and photographic tourism private sector, civil society (community-based organisations, local NGOs and international NGOs), government (the Wildlife Division) and independent experts have all been consulted in the development of these briefs.
- Printed Swahili and English versions should be available by Wednesday 29th October 2008 and can be obtained by emailing info@tnrf.org (our apologies for the delay in printing)
