Tanzania’s economic growth depends heavily on its environmental and natural resources with more than 80 per cent of the population remaining dependent on them for income generation. The country is equally rich in resources, including its diverse wildlife, natural forests, pristine beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes, minerals and gas and boasting tropical climate and cultural wealth that positions it as a popular tourist destination. Most of these attractions are found in protected areas and they include its National Parks (NPs), Nature Forest Reserves (NFRs), Game Reserves (GRs), Wildlife Controlled Areas (WCAs), Marine Parks (MPs), as well as in various historical and cultural sites. The country’s natural resources have contributed immensely to its planned economic development and hence remain the backbone of its planned growth in industrialisation and ambitions towards the Middle-Income Status. Despite their importance, critical challenges remain, threatening the sustainability of the environment and natural resources. Some of these challenges include the unsustainable harvesting and use of natural resources, unchecked cultivation practices, degradation of and encroachment on water sources, and the environmental impacts of climate change. All of these combined can seriously undermine the country’s sustainable development goals including poverty eradication.
