“…Most of the mountains were formally protected since 1909 (Temple, 1972), but the area of about 24.115 km 2 was formally reserved as the Uluguru Nature Forest Reserve (UNFR) in 1998 (Chamshama et al., 2008; MNRT, 2016). However, some parts of the mountains are unreserved and are for various uses by communities living in the lower parts of the mountains.…”

Wildfires in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania: Burned areas, underlying causes and management challenges

et al. 2020

The Eastern Arc Mountains are one of the most important ecosystems that conserve biodiversity in the world. These ecosystems are threatened by the increasing occurrence of wildfires. Nevertheless, there is inadequate information useful for the development of effective strategies to prevent or respond to future fires. This paper analyses the current extent of dry season fires, underlying causes and the effectiveness of the fire management strategy being implemented in and around the Uluguru Nature Forest Reserve (UNFR) between 2016 and 2021. Differenced Normalised Burn Ratio derived from Landsat satellite images was applied to determine the extent of burned areas, and focus group discussions were held to determine the underlying causes of fires and the extent of implementation of fire management strategies. About 2% (472 ha) of reserved UNFR and 5% (2,854 ha) of unreserved forests were burned in 2017. Some of the fires impacted on 60% (370 ha) of the grassy Lukwangule plateau, which is home to a fire‐sensitive endemic species. The underlying causes of fires varied spatially across the mountains but generally, fire escaping from farm preparation and hunting activities were found to be the most prevalent. On average, survey participants perceived that fire management strategy objectives were achieved by only 29% mainly constrained by a shortage of financial and human resources. Our findings suggest that ignitions and fire spread in UNFR could be prevented or controlled through sustainable funding of fire management activities and the effective engagement of local communities in the management of the reserve.

“…Primary data were collected using semistructured interviewing (n=40) during twelve months of fieldwork in the area. Other Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methods (n=60) such as wealth ranking and matrix ranking were employed to understand socio-2 While Paul (1988) suggests that the practice may in fact have been instigated by colonial officers in the area, Temple (1972) and Reij (1989) believe it to be indigenous. .…”

Intensification, Degradation and Soil Improvement: Utilising Structuration Theory for a Differentiated Analysis of Population Pressure Outcomes in Highland Tanzania

This paper reviews the evidence for and consequences of population pressure in an area of highland Tanzania. While intensification is found to be occurring, both soil improvement and soil productivity decline are evident. A household-level, spatially disaggregated analysis is therefore adopted to understand the variegated pattern of population pressure outcomes. The approach is guided by structuration theory to gain a deeper understanding of the contexts and processes shaping different outcomes. Gender, wealth and land types are found to be influential variables affecting responses to population pressure in this case study.
