Summary
This project aims to build conservation, research, and protected area management capacity in Tanzania, while improving the management of two globally-important large carnivore populations (Ruaha-Rungwa, Selous-Nyerere). The project will provide practical training in large carnivore monitoring and wildlife corridor assessments, coupled with academic mentoring, to Tanzanian nationals from protected area management authorities, governmental research institutions, and universities. The monitoring and conservation plans developed will contribute to long-term poverty reduction by helping promote tourism activities and preserving ecosystem function.
