What is the wildlife situation in Tanzania?
Tanzania's Serengeti-Mara, Selous-Niassa and Ruaha-Rungwa ecosystems together host globally significant populations of African elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs and black rhinos. Bushmeat snaring is the dominant contemporary threat in the southern reserves.
What is WARN preparing to do in Tanzania?
Supporting ranger anti-poaching patrols, running community veterinary outreach in villages bordering the reserves, and providing rapid-response field medicine for any wildlife found alive in snares. WARN's planned East Africa programme spans both Kenya and Tanzania.
Why Tanzania alongside Kenya
Wildlife and trafficking routes do not respect the Kenya-Tanzania border. Operating across both countries lets our planned programmes share intelligence, veterinary capacity and corridor protection work.
Cross-border East Africa programme
Wildlife and trafficking routes cross the Kenya–Tanzania border. Operating in both countries lets planned programmes share veterinary capacity, intelligence and corridor protection.
Community veterinary outreach
Villages bordering reserves bear the cost of living alongside elephants and predators. Community veterinary outreach builds trust and reduces retaliatory killing.
Threats to Wildlife in Tanzania
