This edited volume summarizes multidisciplinary work on wildlife
conservation in the Tarangire Ecosystem of northern Tanzania. By
drawing together human-centered, wildlife-centered, and
interdisciplinary research, this book contributes to furthering our
understanding of the often complex mechanisms underlying
human-wildlife interactions in dynamic landscapes. By synthesizing
the wealth of knowledge generated by anthropologists, ecologists,
conservationists, entrepreneurs, geographers, sociologists, and
zoologists over the last decades, this book also highlights
practicable and locally adapted solutions for shaping
human-wildlife interactions towards coexistence. Readers will
discover the reciprocal and often unexpected direct and indirect
dynamics between people and wildlife. While boundaries (e.g.
between people and wildlife, between protected and un-protected
areas, and between different groups of people) are a common theme
throughout the different chapters, this book stresses the
commonalities, links, and synergies between seemingly disparate
disciplines, opinions, and conservation approaches. The chapters
are divided into clear sections, such as the human dimension, the
wildlife dimension  and  human-wildlife interactions,
 representing a detailed summary of anthropological,
ecological, and interdisciplinary research projects that have been
conducted in the Tarangire Ecosystem over the last decades. Beyond,
this work contributes to the debate about land-sharing versus
land-sparing and provides an in-depth case study for understanding
the complexities associated with human-wildlife coexistence in one
of the few remaining ecosystems that supports migratory populations
of large mammals. The topic of this book is particularly relevant
for students, scholars, and practitioners who are interested in
reconciling the needs of human populations with those of the
environment in general and large mammal populations in
particular.   Â
The specific objectives of this report are to synthesize available
data and scientific literature on SIEN birds (distribution,
abundance, population trends, and demography for 145 focal
species), identify and discuss current and future ecological
stressors to SIEN bird populations, and describe management
options. The overarching purpose for this report is to inform and
support the SIEN long-term bird monitoring program and the SEKI
Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA). While this report
specifically addresses SIEN and SEKI requirements, the scope of
this assessment is network-wide and should serve to inform the
concurrent YOSE and DEPO NRCA projects.
