Info

Eastern Arc Mountains Forests of Tanzania actions follow logically from the agreed strategies. Since being developed the Eastern Arc strategy is now under implementation by FBD and is being rolled out to the Districts of the Eastern Arc Mountains as well. Management System. The proposed site comprises one National Park managed by the National Parks authority and a series of eight Nature Reserves managed by the Forest and Beekeeping Division – both of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism. The Nature Reserves Unit will provide the management system for the eight Nature Reserves. The Nature Reserves unit is housed in the ‘Eastern Arc Conservation Centre’ in Morogoro, and is overseen by the head of catchment and Nature Reserves sections based at the FBD headquarters in Dar es Salaam. This center also houses the ‘Eastern Arc Mountains Conservation Endowment Fund’ which is an independent permanent funding mechanism for conservation in the Eastern Arc. It is proposed that the centre could also form the administrative base for the management secretariat of the World Heritage Site. The government is also in the process of planning the establishment of the Tanzania Forest Service and the Tanzania Forest Fund, aimed at enhancing the capacity of FBD. Funding for the Udzungwa Mountains National Park is generated from tourism fees and from donor funding to a limited extent. 5.f Sources and levels of finance The core funding for the management of the Eastern Arc World Heritage property (the network of existing reserves) comes from the Government of Tanzania (Central and Local Government). In some of the Eastern Arc forests there is also donor funding to assist management input. This has been dramatically reduced in the past few years. The catchment forest programme of the Forestry and Beekeeping Division (the manager of most of the reserves in the Eastern Arc) has also been receiving funding for the past years from the Norwegian Government. This funding allows some enhanced management of the catchment forest reserves. The funding available for the management of the core sites within the Eastern Arc Mountains has increased over time, and is currently around four times the allocation in 2004. This is proposed to increase still further. Even allowing for depreciation of the Tanzanian shilling this is still in major increase in funding commitment to the management of these sites.
