We are actively involved in anti-poaching activities in our concessions in Western and Southern Tanzania. Poaching of animals with snares, rifles or home made muzzleloaders and the illegal felling of trees are serious threats to the wildlife and landscape of these areas. We assist the government in their efforts to conserve and protect the indigenous flora and fauna contained within these protected areas.
In order to achieve this we:
- Actively support anti-poaching operations in concert with the government of Tanzania
- Work with local communities to involve them in programs that lead to the conservation of Wildlife
- Provide direct economic support to communities from the sustainable utilization of wildlife
- Develop and maintain geographical and database systems for use in ecosystem management
- Provide useful feedback to the government of Tanzania regarding the legal and illegal utilization of wildlife
Poachers camp being destroyed
Our anti-poaching teams consist of a driver, two of our trained rangers and one government game officer. Each team has a Land Cruiser pick-up with radio communications. The results are fed back to our manager at the Arusha base on a daily basis.
We have currently built 2 schools in areas around our concessions, one at Mbuga Village outside the Selous and one at Sikonge in Western Tanzania.
Please contact us for more details on what we do and how you can help to protect East Africa’s flora and fauna. |
