TANZANIA is hosting the 14th Global Scientific Conference, the vital gathering which attracts hundreds of scientists, researchers, environmentalists, and conservators from across the world.
Taking shape at the Arusha-based famous International Conference Centre (AICC), the annually staged event which commenced today will run for at least three consecutive days,until December 8.
Among other things, the issue of coexistence between human and wildlife will most likely be on top of the agenda throughout the key scientific gathering.
The Arusha-based Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute is organising the event and according to a statement from TAWIRI, ‘Human –Wildlife coexistence for biodiversity conservation and socioeconomic development is the guiding theme for the 14th scientific conference.
Tanzania will be tackling the issue of wildlife corridors, many of which have been disappearing in the country as well as around Africa due to invasion of unplanned human activities and settlement.
Some of the main topics during the conference include Human and Wildlife Coexistence with biodiversity as the basis for a sustainable future being presented by Professor Veldhuis M. Paul
Dr Paul is an Assistant Professor on Fundamental Principles in the organisation of ecosystems at the Institute of Environmental Science, Leiden Public University of Netherland.
There will be a topic on Innovation and Technology for Conservation and Sustainable Tourism development by Prof Wineaster Anderson, the Deputy Vice Chancellor at the University of Dodoma (UDOM) responsible for planning,finance and administration.
The Chief Development and Coordination Officer and the Director of Research at the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute, Dr Julius Keyyu will be addressing the issue of Wildlife corridors, their current status, threats and implications for sustainable biodiversity conservation and community livelihood in Tanzania.
As it happens, Tanzania is currently working to restore the country’s wildlife corridors and so far about 61 such natural connectivity passages have been reinstated.
The other sub-themes of the TAWIRI Scientific Conference 2023 Human-Wildlife Conflicts comprise emerging technologies for wildlife conservation; tourism development and diversifications for social-economic development, wildlife ecology and ecological interactions.
Scientists are also discussing monitoring of wildlife population and threatened species; ecosystem health and wildlife diseases; water resources and wetland conservation; climate change and ecological resilience; bee ecology; bee keeping and Api-tourism development as well as vegetation ecology, invasive species and habitat conservation.
