Project Description
Kisampa Conservancy is a community-owned, privately-managed natural habitat and wildlife preservation project on the southern boundary of the Saadani National Park in coastal Tanzania, East Africa.
The area is made up of old-growth riparian forest, open woodland, oxbow lakes and wetlands, seasonal grassland floodplains and savannah thickets. This unique ecosystem is habitat to an extensive and varied number of wildlife that pass through Kisampa. Both are ecologically vulnerable to unsustainable exploitation for charcoal cutting, timber logging, wildlife poaching, overfishing and environmental damage as a result of the incursion of uncontrolled pastoral cattle, goat and sheep herders.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
The villagers of Matipwili and Gongo Village, who own the land communally. The employees and the families of the project who receive security of income from their employment.
Project Goals
This project aims to:- Protect the natural habitat and wildlife.- Develop sustainable revenue streams from this protection to support sustainable community development.- Progressively increase the area under protection when the opportunity arises and revegetate those additional areas.- Assist the community in sustainable agricultural and living practices in areas that are outside formal protection.
Co-benefits
The protection of wildlife in the conserved area. The protection of grassland and wetlands ( oxbow lakes and swamps) in the conserved area. The improved health of the Wami River which extends along the southern boundary of the conserved area due to the protection of the riverine forest alongside the river. The protection of endangered tree species prevalent but threatened elsewhere - Dalbergia Melanoxylon
