How We Works
Wildlife Corridors & Conflict Mitigation in TME
01.
Conservation Focus
We work in the diverse and human-dominated Tarangire-Manyara Ecosystem (TME), a significant wildlife area rich in biodiversity, supporting endangered apex predators and teeming migratory ungulates.
Community Engagement
We work closely with ethnic groups like the Maasai, Waarusha, and Barbaig, understanding their traditions and socio-economic livelihoods to address the complexities of human-lion interactions and foster harmonious coexistence.
Protecting Wildlife Corridors
We recognize the importance of wildlife migratory corridors and strive to increase protection and conservation efforts to preserve them despite land use changes caused by the growing human population.
Addressing Human-Wildlife Conflicts
Our efforts include tackling one of the major challenges in the TME – the high levels of human-wildlife conflicts due to increased human-wildlife interactions resulting from seasonal wildlife migration.
An inspiring journey with MCCT! Their research-backed approach and thoughtful conservation projects have yielded remarkable results in preserving migratory corridors and protecting endangered predators. Witnessing coexistence blossom amidst cultural respect has been truly heartening. We're thrilled to be part of MCCT's mission
