Assessing human–wildlife interactions adjacent to protected areas in northern Tanzania
Human–wildlife interactions (HWI) are recognized adjacent to protected areas in Northern Tanzania. However, there is limited understanding of the visitations across different wildlife species and threats posed by different wildlife species in the region. This study investigated the frequency of wildlife interactions, associated problems, and benefits in villages near Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara National…
Factors determining the extraction of protected area resources in Tanzania by rural and urban communities
Globally, protected areas (PAs) serve as critical refuges for natural resources, supporting the livelihoods of both rural and urban populations. However, limited empirical research has explored how rural and urban communities differentially access and depend on these resources, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This study addresses this gap by using semi-structured interviews across four locations in Tanzania—two rural (Rungwa and Serengeti vil…
Determinants of locals’ perceptions of elephant crop raiding and support for conservation in two distinct protected areas in Tanzania
Globally, human-wildlife interactions represent complex circumstances arising from the intersecting needs of wildlife and humans. The research occurred in eight villages adjacent to Lake Manyara National Park (LMNP) and the Swagaswaga Game Reserve (SGR) in Tanzania. The primary objective of this study was to assess how various socio-demographic and contextual factors affected perceptions of elephant crop raiding, perceived changes in the frequenc…
Determinants of Community Awareness Regarding the Endangered Rungwecebus kipunji in Tanzania
The Economic Consequences of Covid-19 on Communities Adjacent to Protected Areas in Northern Tanzania
COVID-19 severely impacted industries worldwide, with tourism among the hardest hit. Understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on small-scale tourism businesses near protected areas in northern Tanzania is crucial for evaluating global crises at the community level. We collected data using questionnaires from 335 respondents to assess the impact of COVID-19 on small-scale tourism businesses and evaluate their perceptions of changes in ill…
Coexistence with Large Carnivores in Relation to Livestock Depredation in the Eastern Serengeti Ecosystem, Tanzania
Factors Influencing Communities’ Attitudes and Participation in Protected Area Conservation
Understanding the interest of local communities and ensuring their support in conservation are pivotal to the sustainability of Protected Areas (PAs). In this study, we interviewed 230 households surrounding the Indawgyi Wildlife Sanctuary (IWS) and assessed community attitudes and conservation involvement against socio-economic background, benefits and costs from the Protected Area (PA), and knowledge. Additionally, we tested how communities' at…
Can Enhanced Awareness Change Local School Children’s Knowledge of Carnivores in Northern Tanzania
We used a four-day program with a pre-test–post-test approach on 355 selected school children to investigate the influence of a wildlife education project on the acquisition of knowledge about large carnivores in Loliondo, Tanzania. After the school program was completed, a significantly higher number of school children correctly identified six carnivore species, compared to when the same identification task was administered prior to the initiati…
