Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Consultancy for Wildlife Species Conservationactions (Elephants) in Ruvuma Landscape

WWF Tanzania (TCO) strives to conserve Africa-s rare and endangered wildlife species, in
partnership with the government and other actors. Work has focused in addressing species
conservation challenges such as human-wildlife conflict and effects of climate change which
inevitably led to exacerbated exploitation and population decline. Among TCO-s focal areas is the Ruvuma Landscape (RLS) comprised of wildlife populations in the Nyerere NP, Selous GR, Mikumi NP and surrounding GCAS and Community WMAS. The network of Protected Areas hosts globally important populations of Elephants, but at occurrence of far below the ecological carrying capacity. Climate change factors such as erratic, poor rains, prolonged droughts, extensive bushfires are key environmental challenges. Concurrently, anthropogenic factors such as IWT (in the form of ivory poaching and illegal bushmeat harvesting), livestock encroachment, human-wildlife conflict and the spread of zoonotic diseases are key issues facing the wellbeing of elephants in the RLS. WWF believes the challenges can best be addressed through the availability of adequate ecological information, and technology to effectively inform/guide management decisions on conservation.
