The statement was made by the President of the 14th Bureau of Governing Council who is also the Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism of Tanzania, Dr Ashatu Kijaji while opening the session of the Council in Nairobi, Kenya
Dr Kijaji said regional cooperation is an important weapon in combating international networks involved in illegal wildlife trade, poaching, and forest products.
She added that Tanzania’s commitment to strengthening natural resource conservation has continued to be seen through various national measures implemented within the past year since the country took over the leadership of the Council in Arusha.
In addition, he stressed that Tanzania has invested in participatory conservation involving communities surrounding protected areas.
Similarly, Dr Kijaji stressed that wildlife and forest resources are not the property of one nation alone but are an important world heritage that must be protected with all force for the benefit of current and future generations.
In addition, he added that these efforts clearly show that success in wildlife and forest conservation cannot be achieved through political declarations alone, but requires the implementation of actions, creativity, investment and measures that bring tangible results.
