The Serengeti Ecosystem, is one of the most iconic landscapes of the planet, however its continued existence faces numerous and escalating challenges, such as land conversion, climate change, altered river hydrology, illegal harvesting of animals, and increasing tourism pressures. In response to these threats, ongoing research and conservation efforts have become crucial to protect this unique biodiversity for future generations.
The 2023-2024 annual report from the Serengeti Biodiversity Programme provides a detailed update of the conservation research and results over the last year. The analysis includes updates about species populations, migratory routes, habitat health, and conservation initiatives. It examines both successes and challenges over the past year, drawing from extensive field research, community engagement, and collaborations with conservation organisations.
A crucial component of the Serengeti Biodiversity Programme is the annual symposium hosted by the Greater Serengeti Conservation Society, where cross-border managers gather to share data, assess the ecosystem’s status, and work together on solutions to pressing conservation issues.
Since its founding in 1964 by professor Tony Sinclair, the Serengeti Biodiversity Programme has been a cornerstone in research, monitoring, and training efforts playing a pivotal role in efforts to preserve the Serengeti’s unique biodiversity for future generations.
Serengeti Forever!
