Fresh push for wise management of Tanzania’s natural wealth

What you need to know:

  • Tanzania is rich in natural resources but recent trends have shown threats with stakeholders calling for wise management to ensure clean and green development.
  • Rapid population growth; an increasing urbanisation rate; a growing economy driven by the country’s industrialization agenda; and climate change are the main factors that emphasize the need for improved management, according to a new report launched yesterday. Incidents like poaching, overfishing and overcrowding are cited as threats to the resources.
