Balancing African Elephant Conservation with Human Well-Being in Rombo Area, Tanzania
(Hindawi Advances in Ecology, 2017-05-31)
The critical assessment of the nature and extent of human-elephant conflict (HEC) and its impact on conservation efforts are
essential if we are to meet the challenges related to extinction of local population, as well ...
Woody Encroachment Extent and Its Associated Impacts on Plant and Herbivore Species Occurrence in Maswa Game Reserve, Tanzania
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2019-07-26)
Habitat degradation caused by woody plant encroachment has been a common phenomenon in savanna ecosystems.
An increasing woody plant cover in open grassland reduces grazing grounds and, consecutively, impacts
mammalian ...
Demonstrative effects of crude extracts of Desmodium spp. to fight against the invasive weed species Tagetes minuta
(Elsevier, 2016)
Threats on native flora and fauna by invasive plant species represent one of the main conservation and management
challenges in rangelands. Methods that are both effective and ecologically safe to suppress invasives ...
A nature‑based approach for managing the invasive weed species Gutenbergia cordifolia for sustainable rangeland management
(SpringerPlus, 2016-10-13)
Background: The invasive weed species Gutenbergia cordifolia has been observed
to suppress native plants and to dominate more than half of the entire crater floor
(250 km2
) in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). ...
How dynamics and drivers of land use/land cover change impact elephant conservation and agricultural livelihood development in Rombo, Tanzania.
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017)
Land use/ land cover (LULC) change affects the provision of ecosystem services for humans and habitat for wildlife. Hence, it is crucial to monitor LULC particularly adjacent to protected areas. In this study, we measured ...
Human population growth as indicator for human-elephant conflicts in Rombo area, Tanzania
(Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES), 2017-04-17)
Conservationists need detailed information on human population growth and distribution in areas adjacent to
protected areas. This information can help determine land use/land cover changes (LULCC), which affect the
quality ...
Invasive plants: ecological effects, status, management challenges in Tanzania and the way forward
(Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES), 2017-03-31)
Over decades invasive plants have been exerting negative pressure on native vascular plant’s and hence devastating
the stability and productivity of the receiving ecosystem. These effects are usually irreversible if ...
