Resource information
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the size of the range lost to other forms of land uses. This will support the argument that it is time to reconsider the pastoralists sector as a legitimate mode of production in the country which, like other sectors, deserve due priority.
We need to understand the exactly area and perhaps value of the remaining for pastoralists in Tanzania. This study managed to capture almost accurately the size of areas converted into different categories of wildlife preservation areas. Areas covered by airports and spreading towns as well as areas cultivated by pastoralists remain largely unknown. There is a need for a validation workshop to improve this report. The participants of such a workshop should come from mainly traditional pastoral districts from around the country.
