Request for Proposal for Evaluation of the Northern Tanzania Rangelands Program at Nature Conservancy | October 2024
Job Description
Northern Tanzania’s 8.7-million-acre Tarangire ecosystem boasts the third-largest terrestrial mammal migration in East Africa (after Serengeti and South Sudan). Here, wildlife and livestock must move seasonally between Tarangire National Park and surrounding communal lands to access food and water. Unlike the Serengeti migration which falls almost entirely within protected areas, 80% of the lands that Tarangire’s wildlife needs are shared by communities. To sustain Tarangire’s great migration, TNC and partners are working with pastoralist and hunter-gatherer communities to conserve five movement corridors that emanate from Tarangire National Park, span communal lands, and are vital to both wildlife and livestock. Our approach includes: 1) helping communities secure rights to open grazing lands within the five corridors; 2) supporting good management of these lands, wildlife, and livestock; and 3) creating or expanding mechanisms that incentivize and fund conservation and provide benefit to local communities (e.g., tourism and carbon payments).
