3767.	Misitu Yetu Project: Pande Game Reserve (Kinondoni Municipality)
	Tuesday, July 27, 2004  by Admin
	Pande Game Reserve is an area of coastal forest to the north of Dar es Salaam. The forest has come under intense pressure as a source of fuel wood and other resources for the city. TFCG has been working with adjacent communities to empower them to work with the government to halt the destruction of the forest
3768.	Coastal forests in Tanzania
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	Coastal forests are important because of their many and varied uses. Coastal forests are used by people to collect medicinal plants, fuelwood, building materials, food and they help to maintain regular water for towns and villages....
3769.	Positive and negative conservation and livelihood impacts of wildlife trade regulation in the East Usambara Mountains
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	Whilst the benefits of trade in forest products to livelihoods have been well documented, far less research attention has been given to the impacts on livelihoods or national economies of conservation-motivated trade controls. The threat that unsustainable wildlife trade poses to conservation has resulted in numerous wildlife access and trade regulations implemented in producing, transit and consumer countries. More recently, concerns have been raised that these conservationbased trade controls (and resulting changes in wildlife trade) are having a negative impact on the livelihoods of those earning an income as a result of wildlife harvests, especially the rural poor. In the worst scenario, these livelihood impacts may subsequently lead to inadvertent negative impacts on the very conservation objectives of the trade controls...

	TFCG are currently developing a programme (PEMA: Participatory Environmental Management Programme) in collaboration with CARE-Denmark and WWF-Denmark to promote participatory forest management in the South Nguru Mountains which are part of the Eastern Arc....
3771.	S. Udzungwa: Mufindi Forest Conservation Project
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	Since 1995 TFCG has been providing support for forest conservation in the Southern Udzungwa Mountains in Mufindi District. The focus for support in Mufindi has been on participatory forest management for six forests covering 620 ha and working with six villages. The project has also been working with communities to increase household incomes through activities such as fish farms, improved fruit crops etc...
3772.	East Usambara Forest Conservation Project (Muheza District)
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	Since 1993 TFCG have been providing environmental education and support for tree planting in the lowland East Usambara Mountains of Muheza District. The project has assisted villagers to plant over one million trees as an alternative source of firewood for villagers and as a source of cash income. TFCG have also assisted three villages to establish village forest reserves to protect forest fragments on village land. These remaining forest fragments are critical to the long term sustainability of forest dependent species in the East Usambaras as they provide a corridor between the forests within government reserves otherwise isolated by agricultural land.
3773.	West usambara Forest Conservation Project
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	Over the last decade the Tanzania Forest Conservation Group has been supporting forest conservation at various sites in the West Usambaras including Ambangulu and Sagara forests. The project has been promoting participatory forest management as well as lobbying for the halting of unsustainable commercial timber extraction.
3774.	Relevance of recent CITES developments to timber trade in Tanzania
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	The Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), regarded as one of the most important international wildlife conservation tools, recently completed the twelfth Conference of the Parties. Members from 160 nations debated and witnessed a genuine maturing of the convention, with changed emphasis and broadened reach. Whilst many decisions and resolutions arose from CITES CoP12, a much clearer role for CITES is being defined in regulating timber trade. This has future implications for future timber trade regulation in Tanzania....
3775.	Round Wood Export from Southern Tanzanian Coastal Forests
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	Perhaps the most urgent conservation challenge facing the coastal forests of southern Tanzania is that of round wood logging and export. This logging is affecting public land forests and also forest reserves, including those where forest management plans have been agreed that prevent logging.
3776.	Urgent Need for Restoration of the African Violet habitat in the Amboni Caves, Tanga, Tanzania
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	African Violets (Saintpaulia) are one of the best selling ornamental plants in the world. The Amboni Caves near Tanga town are perhaps the best known and most interesting of the few lowland African Violet localities still existing in Tanzania. The Amboni Caves are one of the main visitor attractions in Tanga but African violets have been neglected as a tourist attraction as most visitors to the caves are not aware that there are African violets growing there. Due to forest clearance around the caves the habitat has been severely degraded and the population of African violets is now in a miserable state. Contrary to some recent speculation on the extinction of Saintpaulia at Amboni Caves, we report that a small population still grows in the immediate vicinity of the caves and that restoration of the population is possible and well justified....
3777.	Transaction costs of Participatory Forest Management: empirical evidence from Tanzania.
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	In Tanzania, Participatory Forest Management (PFM) has become the most important approach within the forestry sector following its inclusion in the National Forest Policy in 1998 and the Forest Act 2002. The move towards PFM has been driven by two factors. Firstly, recognition that neither central government nor local government have the capacity to manage the nation’s forest resources in a sustainable way without the support of communities living close to the forest. Secondly, there has been a political will to decentralize government functions to the lowest level of government. By the end of the year 2000, it was estimated that Tanzania had 319,730 ha of forests under CBFM and 28,255 ha under Joint Forest Management (JFM) mainly in catchment forest reserves. This figure is now considerably higher.
3778.	Women and Gender Participation in the Fisheries Sector in Lake Victoria
	Monday, July 26, 2004  by Admin
	The paper starts with an analysis of the gender roles of women in the fisheries sector. These roles are recognized in three stages of production: fishing, processing and marketing. Further, the paper looks at the impacts of gender roles in promoting or hindering the involvement of women in fisheries research, development, and management. Lastly, the paper develops recommendations that will ensure the effective participation of women in the management of Lake Victoria fisheries resources.
3779.	Tanzania in Brief-april 2004
	Wednesday, July 21, 2004  by Admin
	Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. Per capita income in 2004 is estimated to be at about US$282. Life expectancy at birth dropped from 50 years in 1990 to only 43 years in 2002. Infant mortality remains relatively high with 104 per 1,000 in 2001 (102 in 1990)...
3780.	Monthly Economic Review-Bank of Tanzania
	Wednesday, July 21, 2004  by Admin
	Despite the spike in the annual inflation rate in April 2004, the underlying inflation rate in Tanzania remains very low. There was a sharp increase in the prices of foodstuffs during the month of April 2004, particularly the food grains (rice, maize and sorghum). As a consequence, the annual food inflation rate jumped to 8.8 percent in April 2004, partly a reflection of food shortages emanating from the poor harvest in 2003. The non-food annual inflation rate was slightly negative, at –0.2 percent....
