The slopes of Mount Meru and West Kilimanjaro are one of the important Grey Crowned Crane habitats outside protected areas in Northern Tanzania. In these areas, Nature Tanzania is working with communities, including livestock keepers and farmers, to protect the species and its habitat.
To address these conservation challenges, Nature Tanzania, with financial support from the NABU International Foundation, continued with conservation actions targeting the species on the slopes of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro. Nature Tanzania has worked using a community-based approach at the government and village levels and in close collaboration with hunters, farmers, and youth interested in conservation.
This is done by engaging different stakeholders, including the community, schools, and the government. Project objectives include raising community awareness, monitoring, and research through systematic data collection on the population, movement, breeding, and foraging behaviour of Grey Crowned Cranes and sharing knowledge and information with wider communities. This report highlights the achievements of the 2024 project period.
In 2024, we attended four village general assemblies in Ngarenanyuki, Ngabobo, Magadirisho, and Laki Tatu villages, where we raised awareness for species and habitat conservation. We also share the challenges facing the Grey Crowned Cranes, including their breeding and roosting sites and prioritise local actions to protect them.
