F. Park Operations Programme However, wildlife offtake within the Park remains a substantial threat to the natural resources of the Serengeti. Over the past decade, there appears to be a gradual upward trend in the total number of hunters arrested in the Park (see Figure F.3 below), although care must be exercised in interpreting the data, as there is no indication of the degree of effort invested in resource protection in the data series. Figure F.3: The annual total number of poachers arrested in Serengeti National Park, 1993-2003 Number of hunters 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 1993/1994 1994/1995 Source: SENAPA 2004 1995/1996 1996/1997 1997/1998 1998/1999 1999/2000 2000/2001 Financial Year (July - June) 2001/2002 2002/2003 Table F.2 over page shows the range of illegal activities identified with arrested persons and Figure F.4 indicates areas of spatial variations in degrees of risk from illegal hunting. Wildlife offtake is the major illegal activity, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the reported activities from arrested persons. The next major threat to the park resources is from habitat destruction, resulting from bush clearing for cultivation sites along the boundaries; cutting of trees and grass; firewood collection and man made fires within and outside the Park. The continued, if not increased, levels of illegal natural resource offtake in the Park suggests that despite the professionalism and efforts of the Park’s Resource Protection Department, the current park resource protection strategies are alone insufficient to reduce wild-resource offtake in the Park. New strategies are needed that concentrate on developing solutions directly with the local communities from where the wildlife offtake pressure arises. In addition, the efficacy and appropriateness of the prosecution process for hunters apprehended within the Park needs to be reviewed so as to ensure that there is an adequate deterrence against illegal resource use. 99
