Selous project wins global recognition

The Selous Conservation Programme (SCP), which was implemented from the late 1980s through a German support, has set a precedent in wildlife management.

Many aspects of the programme are now accepted as modern best practices in sustainable wildlife conservation, it was revealed.

Mr Gerhard Anger, a German aid agency (GTZ) official, says SCP has contributed significantly “to the knowledge of how to manage biodiversity projects in the context of development cooperation.”

“It has also influenced Tanzania’s wildlife policy development. At the same time, SCP has produced tangible results in and around the reserve and these are acknowledged worldwide,” he noted.
