SEO U LOKELANG HO SE NKA HO SEHLOOHO ENA:
- WMA ia a new approach to encouraging local communities to partner with investors and set aside land not overly productive in agriculture or ranching for wildlife conservation, aimed to create buffer zones for added protection of the main national parks and game reserves, but also to spread economic benefits like jobs and tourism related income into villages which have previously been bypassed and ignored.
- The Ikona Wildlife Management Area, of which the Singita Grumeti Reserve is part, has now formally commissioned a new visitor center, from which the entire area, dedicated to wildlife conservation, is to benefit.
- Training of locals is also important part of the new center, that will provide much needed skills to the people from the area, instead of ‘importing' staff from other parts of Tanzania.
