frica, get ready for the biggest reality show on your screens! Big Brother Africa is back, and the journey towards the prize money begins on the 5th of October 2014. Big Brother Africa is an exciting and vibrant game that keeps the participants and audience members guessing. Part of this wildly popular show’s charm is the unpredictability of events. There are always twists and turns and the only constant in the house is change.
The housemates compete for a massive prize pot of USD 300,000 – with more twists than ever before! AfricaMagic can reveal that the new season will be called Hotshots. This season’s housemates have hidden talents, adore the spotlight and will let nothing stand in the way of their pursuit of fame & fortune.”
Over the seasons, Big Brother has introduced many game-changing plot twists designed to take the housemates

the twins could carry on in the house. Fortunately for the twins, they managed to stay undetected and carried on in the house as individual housemates. In Big Brother Africa 2, two major plot twists were introduced. The first one, which blind-sided everyone, was when Big Brother decided to reverse the nomination process and put the housemates with the least nominations up for eviction. To add to the drama, Big Brother added a fake eviction in week seven. Each housemate would nominate two people for eviction, and whoever got the most public votes would then be “evicted” and moved to “The Penthouse”, where they would have full access to what was happening in the house. They would be immune from the next eviction and would return to the house after a week. The Revolution, again offering a healthy dose of drama, began with the biggest twist yet: twelve male housemates and no female housemates entered the house on day one. Without the male housemates knowing, after a dramatic double eviction on day seven, twelve female 16 I Dar Life I October
housemates entered into a house next door and spied on the male housemates for a week before entering the house. In another major twist, it was announced by Big Brother that from day 28, housemates would no longer be playing individually, but they would be playing in pairs. This meant that if one member of the pair was nominated, both would be nominated and conversely, if one member was saved by the Head of House, both would be safe. This lasted until day 49, when the housemates could carry on playing individually. Big Brother Africa: The Chase was also action packed and had many twists and turns, none bigger or more dramatic than “The Power of NO” wherein the winner of a task could deny another housemate the opportunity to participate in the next Head of House task.
With Big Brother Hotshots around the corner, what game-changers is Biggie going to throw at the unsuspecting housemates? If Biggie has taught us anything, it is that he holds the power and he has the ability to shock the housemates and Africa at any given moment. Don’t get too comfortable, Africa – the rollercoaster is about to begin. Are you ready?
With auditions well underway across the 14 participating countries, this year’s season promises to impress with more drama, romance, intrigue and suspense. Every year fans across the continent sit eagerly glued to their screens, social media abuzz, as they

“As a voter driven show, the success of the Big Brother Africa brand relies heavily on audience engagement and our social media platforms allow for this to happen in real-time”, said M-Net Africa Regional Director (West Africa), Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu. She also added that because of Big Brother Africa’s growing success on social media, it was important for the brand to continuously explore other platforms, “This year, even more people will be able to partake in the thrill of Big Brother via their mobile devices and on different platforms.”

“The trance party series aims to popularize trance muasic in Tanzania and Africa at large. Trance music has enjoyed great popularity in the West and is slowly 24 I Dar Life I October
gaining a following on the African continent. Plans are underway to have several Tanzania Bongo Artists perform trance remixes of their hit songs, thus giving them international appeal. “ The highly anticipated Fresh Masala: Trance Urban Party was held in September at the High Spirit Lounge and was a
great success. Local DJs kicked off the evening, gradually building up the tempo as the audience got into it. When international DJ Delph took to the decks, it was NOT business as usual. DJ Delph is a seasoned DJ who has performed in Germany, the UK, Austria, the US, and Kenya. Currently DJ Delph has a permanent contract on Saturdays in Mombasa, Kenya, where he performs at an upscale facility called the Yuls Beach Club.
With an awesome presentation on the live video screens, it was a party the likes of which has never been seen in the history of partying in Dar es Salaam. The fusion of Trance urban hits and Bongo music really set the audience on fire. Several Bongo celebrities were in the house including, Mwana FA, Vannessa Mdee, DJ Peter Moe, Shadee of Clouds DJ. The September party was sponsored by Jim Beam American Whisky, RedBull Energy Drink and Pepsi and
was organized by Starlight Moon, a marketing and promotions agency. The Fresh Masala Team is studying the Dar es Salaam emerging market, and there is a strong possibility that the party will soon be held every Friday night after the 10th October 2014 party. This coming party is expected to be hotter and pulsating since the DJ Delph and the Dar party people now have a great chemistry.

His audience is there a diverse group of locals, tourists, Asians, and Arabs with an appreciation for urban international music. Since it was Delph’s first time in Tanzania, it took him some time to synchronize with the party people of Bongo. He eventually touched their hearts with South African Kwaito, which got the party rocking, and followed that up with Naija from Nigeria. The rest of the evening proceeded with a variety of hits from the Trance, House, Electro and Urban genres.

HEALTH
The Right Diet for Your Heart Eating Your Way to Healthy By Connie Brichford
F
or maximum heart health, you need to eat a well-balanced diet. But what does that really mean? “Try a diet low in saturated fat and high in fiber,” recommends Lisa R. Young, PhD, RD, adjunct professor in the department of nutrition, food studies, and public health at New York University. Here’s how to put such a diet in place.
Get Plenty of Fiber
Fiber can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of diabetes (a risk factor for heart disease) and certain types of cancer. “We recommend about 25 grams of fiber a day, for men a bit more. It’s based on your weight,” Young says. “Most Americans eat much, much less than that. If you follow a good diet, you’ll get enough, but so many of us don’t.” The best way to include fiber in your diet is to eat a variety of whole grains and a mixture of fruits and veggies that have both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps clear out cholesterol from your bloodstream. Good sources of soluble fiber include oatmeal, barley, dried beans, and peas; insoluble fiber is found in vegetables like beets and brussels sprouts, as well as whole-grain bread.
44 I Dar Life I October
The Role of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates should be 50 to 60 percent of your diet. In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, get your carbohydrates from legumes, whole-grain breads and pastas, and brown rice. Carbohydrates from these sources are considered good because they offer you nutrients, vitamins, and fiber, in addition to the calories. However, Young explains that carbohydrates are often vehicles for saturated fats like butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and dips and spreads. That’s not good news because saturated fat increases your LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol. So you want to watch what you put on your carbs, and how much of them you eat. Eat the right carbs and the
right fats. While too much LDL cholesterol is bad news, replacing all the fat in your diet with carbohydrates is not the answer either. “A diet too high in carbs and too low in fats will decrease the HDL cholesterol,” says Young. The HDL cholesterol, found in certain good (non-saturated) fats, is actually good for your heart.
Understand the role of triglycerides.
Fruits and vegetables contain carbohydrates and are jampacked with nutrients that your body needs. Other simple carbohydrates, like breads, cakes, and cookies made from white, refined flour, have less nutritional value. After we eat, our bodies turn carbohydrates, fats, and protein into triglycerides, the chemical that our cells use to give us energy. We need some triglycerides to fuel us throughout the day. But
too much of this chemical has been found to increase the risk of heart disease. “It depends on the type of carb,” Young says. “White bread, for instance, elevates the triglycerides.”
Vitamins for the Heart
While many people swear by vitamins and supplements, there’s not much evidence to support the idea that any particular vitamin is good for the heart. “There was a lot of talk about vitamin E, and it didn’t really pan out,” Young says, “and the folates, B-6, B-12 — these vitamins didn’t pan out either.” “As they say, there are no quick fixes and no miracles,” Young adds. Most of us can get all the nutrients our hearts need from a well-balanced diet — full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. October 2014 I Dar Life I 45
Fighting Breast Cancer As a Community Join the Movement! By Sara Maro
Given these statistics and the arrival of October, which is officially recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Pink Walk, to be held at Kunduchi Beach Hotel on October 12th in Dar es Salaam, is certainly a timely and relevant community awareness event. Average citizens need to join the government in efforts to combat the disease through education, prevention, and treatment programs. Medical professionals are now examining the causes of early onset of breast cancer. One of the leading conditions that has been linked to the disease is obesity, which is brought on 46 I Dar Life I October
largely by poor diet and lack of exercise. Another significant factor is psychological or emotional stress, which often stems from family dysfunction and financial struggles. A third possible factor is formula feeding, which some doctors and health professionals argue does not have the same protective ability as breastmilk. Another potential contributor to the development of breast cancer is exposure to chemicals in the environment from a number of sources including meat and milk, tobacco smoke, pesticides and organic hydrocarbons (i.e. endocrine disruptors), some cosmetics and cleaning products, and even some plastic items such as baby bottles and teething toys. There is much we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones on a personal level. Since breast cancer, as well as many other types of cancer, takes a relatively long time to develop, it is important to put the emphasis on prevention and early detection. Parents should be careful to avoid exposing their child to any harmful chemicals from a young age, and should also encourage regular
exercise and healthy diet for themselves and their children in order to prevent obesity and deal with stress in a healthy way. Women should regularly attend health check-ups and be sure to implement self breast examinations in between clinical visits. On a political level, we as citizens need to advocate for policymakers to prioritize cancer control on our country’s health agenda. We need to ensure screening services are readily available and our health facilities are equipped with the needed infrastructure to detect breast cancer early on. It is also critical that we advocate for the availability of drugs, qualified personnel and treatment delivery machines to improve quality of treatment offered to those living with breast cancer. “All this cannot be done by ourselves. Let’s start by walking together for breast cancer awareness day on 12th October 2014 at Kunduchi Beach Hotel. Your steps will add months and years of living to our sisters, wives and mothers who have been affected by the disease.”

tatistics show that the age of onset, progression and outcome following treatment of breast cancer have unfortunately not changed for the better in the past five years in Tanzania. The hospital statistics from Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) in Dar es Salaam indicate that in the year 2013, more than 400 new cases were reported, which represents roughly 10% of all women affected by the disease across the country.

Amazing Face
Give Your Skin Some Tender Loving Care By John Lindsay
I
t’s safe to say that if getting a facial was as commonplace as brushing your teeth was, we’d not only have brighter faced futures, but just more wellness in our lives. So why get a facial? To many, getting a facial seems like a decadent luxury that’s beyond budgets and lifestyles to be considered essential or is something that they don’t need (e.g. there’s nothing “wrong” with my skin). So, in defense of facials, here are a few reasons for why getting a facial is more important than you think.
It’s the ultimate anti-aging treatment
Staying young and fresh-faced means taking care of yourself and your skin. What you do at home is only one part of this equation. The other is receiving the deep cleansing, exfoliation and hydration only a facial can provide. Getting a facial means you are doing your part to slow down the clock. Think of getting a facial as an act similar to going to the dentist for a routine cleaning. Brushing at home is necessary, but you rely on a professional for the deep cleansing and maintenance to keep your pearly whites in tiptop shape. Why stop at your teeth? 50 I Dar Life I October
A little TLC goes a long way
Facials are more economical than you think. For 4-6 weeks after a facial, your skin will appear radiant, resilient and even-toned. That’s a great return on your investment! Not only will your skin continue to renew itself after your facial, but also your spirit will be lifted knowing that you’re doing right by your skin.
Better than a good night’s rest
Believe it or not, people have mistaken the results of getting a good night’s sleep for a facial. The effects are similar, but facials go one step further to remove toxins and dirt accumulated over the weeks, months and years. And at Anantara Spa our facials incorporate extensive facial massage, which improves circulation for an even-toned complexion. If you’re simply craving that dewy, healthy glow and can’t get a good night’s rest, get a facial. It won’t disappoint – and you’ll sleep better too!

Prevent Procrastination Do It Now By Long Yun Siang
H
ow do you prevent procrastination? By doing it NOW, as soon as you remember it and as soon as you reach the item in your todo list. Do not give yourself any excuse or reason why it has to wait or why it can wait.
“Once you get started doing, there is no stopping the habit. It takes good self-discipline in order to prevent procrastination. It’s difficult telling yourself to do it now. But this behavior can be habituated just as you get into a habit of procrastinating. You can also habituate yourself into doing this immediately.” So how do you start this habit of doing things now? These are the few things you need to learn and remember. 1. There Is Only NOW - If you delay doing something, all you are doing is messing up your tomorrow.

important time slot to help you relieve all your stress. Now is the special formula to ease all your tension on your huge todo list. If you set into motion something now on what needs to be done, slowly but surely the motion gains momentum and tasks will be completed. The idea is to start doing. 2. There Is NO Better Time There are no perfect dates and no excellent time-slots for things to be done. You have to do it when it comes up. Push once and you will never stop pushing. 3. Once You Do It You Will Be OK, Seriously - Once you start, you will realize the freedom that comes with doing something you have delayed. It makes you feel good. You want to repeatedly allow yourself to feel this feeling. Then you will make it a habit to do things quickly as they come up. As you do so you are – it is positive reinforcement at work. 4. Do All It Takes - In your
to-do list, keep writing it each time you update the list. Do not allow yourself the excuse of dropping it from the list. There are only so many times you can write the item without starting to work on it. 5. Think About The Repercussions If positive reinforcement doesn’t work on you, and you still refuse to start on something, then try negative reinforcement. Think about all the repercussions it will bring for procrastinating. Nagging? A bad evaluation? Stress from the fact that you will be thinking about it everyday? If you want to prevent procrastination, you have to do it yourself. No one can help you. Just DO it. That is why action is important. Talking, planning, discussing are not actions. They won’t move anything. Only in doing, things get completed. There is power in action and that power can be habituated to stop procrastinating.

DL - How long have you been an artist? Foibe - 29 years. DL - When did you start? Foibe - 2nd grade in Chang’ombe primary school (8 years old in 1982). DL - What is your genre of painting and what mediums do you like to use? Foibe - Life Drawings (Figurative/Portraiture, Still
Life and Landscape). DL - Tell us about your first exhibition? When was it? Foibe - –It was a group exhibit of Student’s Work while in High School at the International School of Geneva, Switzerland, probably in 1991 or 1992. My first solo exhibit was at the Christensen Center Art Gallery, Augsburg College, Minneapolis, MN, USA in 1997.

ART IS CREATION From tingatinga artists to more contemporary painters, sculptors, photographers and filmmakers, Tanzania is not lacking in artistic skill and variety. While some Tanzanian artists have managed to establish themselves, many more hustle on a daily basis to be recognized for their unique talent.

DL - What is the place of your work in society? Foibe - Telling the world an uncommon view of the people of East Africa. Subjects that are yet to be mainstream, but are yet oh so much a part of our lives. DL - What technique do you use? Which is more important to you, the subject of your painting, or the way it is
executed? Foibe – I use oil painting- and textured brush strokes. I feel that both the subject and the execution are equally important. You may have a very important subject, but if the execution is done poorly, or inappropriately, then the message may not reach the target. DL - Do you prefer a perfect smooth technique or a more
energetic expressive technique and why? A more energetic / expressive technique Foibe - I prefer an energetic expressive technique because I think it makes a painting canvas come alive. DL - Why is your work so pretty! What do you think makes it stand out? Foibe - Both the subject and the painting technique play a part
in distinguishing my work. I usually stop when I feel a piece is done, even if the painting is not finished. I use the subject that I feel comfortable expressing an opinion on and also common subjects that many people can relate to.

BUSINESS
Employee Involvement Campaigns Why & How to Effectively Engage Staff By Gregory P. Smith
R
ecently, an organization I worked with conducted a powerful employee suggestion program called an Idea Campaign. In just three weeks this organization captured over 500 new ideas from the workforce. At the end of the campaign, they had substantial, bottom line ideas and employee suggestions on how to improve productivity, cut costs, and improve worker motivation.
“Getting employees’ ideas should not be an option. If your organization is going to be competitive, it is mandatory you involve the minds, hands, and ideas of everyone in your organization. Getting employees involved not only yields valuable ideas and suggestions, but also the increased morale of workers who feel like they are being listened to results in a more productive and satisfying work environment.”
64 I Dar Life I October
The Idea Campaign concept is a revolutionary way of capturing new ideas and improving employee involvement. They are a highly effective, fun, and adrenaline charged version of the traditional employee suggestion program. The major difference between this and other employee involvement programs is there is a direct bottom line result. The campaign is the best way of getting hundreds of ideas from the workforce quickly. They have been used by many organizations and recently by Eglin Air Force Base. At Eglin Air Force Base, the campaign ran for two weeks where both civilian and military personnel were asked to submit ideas that could reduce waste and inefficiency or increase productivity. Eglin received a tremendous surprise when workers generated $400,000 worth of cost savings ideas and new ways to generate revenue. Harley-Davidson ran a similar program saving $3,000,000 in one 30 day program. The U.S.
Park Service made over 12,000 suggestions with an approval rate of 75 percent. These are only a few of the organizations discovering tremendous results. The goal is to get at least one idea from everyone in the organization. For the first idea, each person receives a custom designed coffee cup. The second idea is rewarded with a writing pen. In addition, each week there is a special award ceremony to recognize everyone’s ideas. At the end of the celebration management randomly draw names from a basket for one of several prizes. Other award items like baseball caps, gold rimmed coffee mugs, books and medallions can be provided. However, the most coveted prize was a reserved parking space in front of the building. With most suggestion programs, results are slow in coming and the really good ideas get screened out. On the other hand, idea campaigns take a different twist. All ideas are recognized and all suggestors receive instantaneous recognition. The vendor provides all materials, awards and the instructions. What people discover is that the most powerful force was not the awards. What they learned from the campaign is people become more motivated when they know someone will listen to and do something about their ideas.

Meremeta na Hassanali! Launch of New Collection in Harare By Simon Sameja
Mustafa Hassanali, Tanzania’s Pan-African fashion designer recently launched his MEREMETA NA HASSANALI collection during his 15th Anniversary Celebration in Harare on 26th September 2014 at the Annual Zimbabwe Fashion Week. Hassanali, a celebrated name in Tanzania, pursues fashion as a religion. His personable and affable demeanor combined 68 I Dar Life I October
with his bohemian style has landed him among the premier designers in Tanzania and Eastern Africa. When asked about the trip, Hassanali explained, “It truly was a pleasure to be in Harare as a guest designer to showcase my work. The invitation attests the fact that my brand is recognized as among the leading in Africa.”
“Hassanali has now visited 28 cities in 19 countries around the world to represent Tanzania as a cultural ambassador. Apart from designing for renowned shows in the country like Miss Tanzania, corporate and television-based shows and various other events, Mustafa’s work has been highly
appreciated at the international level. He has worked alongside a number of celebrities (including Naomi Campbell, to name one) and high-profile leaders who have adorned his couture.” Hassanali’s passion for fashion is not limited to fostering his own creations and offering
something new to his target audience; he also believes deeply in the enhancement of the Tanzanian fashion industry as a whole. He has taken up the task of responding to late American President John F. Kennedy’s legendary call: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” “I can’t believe how time flies by so fast! What started as just
a hobby has not only become my own brand but has also been a catalyst for the growth of the fashion industry in Tanzania,” stated the designer. His new collection comes after a hiatus of five years and was inspired by the true essence of Mustafa Hassanali Signature style IQ. As they aptly put in Kiswahili, “gauni usipomeremeta na hauna mkia, haujavaa Hassanali” (If October 2014 I Dar Life I 69

BOOK REVIEWS
Coffee break Join Dar Life reviews editor for the pick of the books with an East African flavour By A Novel Idea
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
North and South tells the story of Margaret Hale, a southerner newly settled in the northern industrial town of Milton, whose ready sympathy with the discontented millworkers sits uneasily with her growing attraction to the charismatic mill owner, John Thornton. The novel poses fundamental questions about the nature of social authority and obedience, ranging from religious crises of conscience to the ethics of naval mutiny and industrial action. Margaret’s internal conflicts mirror the turbulence that she sees all around her. This revised and expanded edition sets the novel in the context of Victorian social and medical debate and explores Gaskell’s subtle representations of sexual passion and communal strife
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen This novel by Jane Austen was her first published work when it appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym A Lady. A work of romantic fiction also known as a comedy of manners, Sense and Sensibility is set in southwest England, London and Kent between 1792 and 1797,and portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The novel follows the young ladies to their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative’s property, where they experience love, romance and heartbreak. The philosophical resolution of the novel is ambiguous: the reader must decide whether sense and sensibility have truly merged.
This classic story is about an orphan, Oliver Twist, who endures a miserable existence in a workhouse and then is placed with an undertaker. He escapes and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger, leader of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. Naïvely unaware of their unlawful activities, Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin. Oliver Twist is notable for Dickens’s unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid lives. The book exposed the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London during the Dickensian era. The book’s subtitle, The Parish Boy’s Progress, alludes to Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress and also to a pair of popular 18th-century caricature series by William Hogarth, A Rake’s Progress and A Harlot’s Progress. Oliver Twist has been the subject of numerous film and television adaptations, and is the basis for a highly successful musical play and the multiple Academy Award winning 1968 motion picture made from it. These titles and many more are available at A Novel Idea Bookstore. To inquire about book purchases, please call Tel: +255 022 2601088 or email: info@anovelidea.co.tz.

The Fight against Tanzania’s poaching assisted by private Funds Like; Friedkin Conservation Fund (“FCF”)
“FCF anti-poaching teams arrest and prosecute an average of between 1,800 to 2,000 poachers a year” Founder
Thomas Hoyt Friedkin is an American billionaire businessman, airplane pilot, actor, and big game hunter who founded Gulf States Toyota Distributors. GST is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Friedkin Companies and ranked 53rd on the Forbes 2008 list of America’s Largest Private Companies with revenues estimated at $5.7 billion. By 2001, Tom Friedkin, then 66, had turned over responsibility for running the holding firm and its 3,000 employees to son Dan, but remained Chairman of the Board and was content to dispense advice. “I’m kind of a bum these days,” he told Forbes. “I am not a greedy person, and I don’t have to make the last dollar there ever was.” The organization was founded by Tom and Dan Friedkin and is supported by private donations and profits from Friedkin’s Tanzania Game Tracker Safaris. 76 I Dar Life I October
Friedkin Conservation Fund (“FCF”)
Friedkin Conservation Fund (“FCF”) operates as two separate but related entities – one is a Texas based nonprofit corporation that is registered as a 501(c)(3) entity in the United States, the other is known as “The Friedkin Conservation Fund of Tanzania” and is set up in Tanzania as a charitable Trust. FCF was established for the purpose of conserving more than 6.1 million acres of Tanzania’s protected wildlife areas. In order to achieve this objective, they operate anti-poaching operations working closely with the Wildlife Division of Tanzania. FCF also sponsors innovative community development projects and manages a Geographic Information System (GIS) for mapping and research to compliment the antipoaching initiative.
Our Mission is to:
• Provide proactive assistance to the Tanzanian Government and the people of Tanzania with their efforts to conserve their network of protected areas • Engage rural communities in the conservation of their natural heritage and empower them to alleviate some of the conditions that contribute to poverty • Monitor, research and facilitate initiatives in sustainable utilization of natural resources
Where We Operate:
Moyowosi, Makere & Uvinza These protected areas are located in northwestern Tanzania. Ugalla Game Reserve The Ugalla Game Reserve is characterized by two primary ecosystems: an extensive miombo woodland and large floodplains running along the Reserve’s four rivers.

Mwiba Wildlife Reserve Mwiba Law Enforcement, an antipoaching team comprised of 40 scouts, protects Mwiba Wildlife Reserve.
distinguishes FCF’s anti-poaching program from all others in Africa. Each anti-poaching team uses a fully equipped Land Cruiser and operates with camping gear, all-weather uniforms, GPS and radio support. FCF has been fortunate in the past to receive equipment sponsorship and operational funding from generous donors and appreciates any financial assistance in maintaining this operation.
Results
FCF proactively assists the Tanzanian Wildlife Division by providing antipoaching teams that consist of highly motivated and professionally trained rangers.
FCF anti-poaching teams arrest and prosecute an average of between 1,800 to 2,000 poachers a year. Between 2005 and 2010, FCF teams, assisted by the Wildlife Department, confiscated a variety of poaching related paraphernalia including thousands of wire and cable snares, rifles, automatic weapons, poison arrows, elephant ivory, bushmeat, animal parts and hides, illegal charcoal and hardwood planks. During this period, FCF also removed thousands of head of livestock from protected areas.

FCF trains, equips and employs 120 full-time field based rangers. These rangers work under the guidance of two microlight pilots, five concessionmanagers and two mobile anti-poaching coordinators in the field, all of who report to their head office in Arusha. These field staff and managers are configured into ten rapid action teams (RATs) and one specialist mobile anti-poaching unit.

Sea Turtle Ecotourism in Tanzania “Since 2010, Sea Sense Conservation Officers have recorded and protected over 1,950 sea turtle nests, enabling more than 155,500 sea turtle hatchlings to safely reach the sea�.
T
anzania is home to an outstanding array of marine habitats that are important feeding grounds for five species of endangered sea turtle: green, hawksbill, loggerhead, olive ridley and leatherback. Two of these species, the green and hawksbill turtle, nest every year on Tanzania’s white sandy beaches as they have done for millennia. A sea turtle ecotourism initiative has been established by Sea Sense, a marine conservation NGO, in partnership with local communities. Throughout the year, visitors to Mafia, Temeke and Pangani, can watch baby sea turtle hatchlings emerge from their nests and make their first perilous journey to the sea. Not only is the initiative helping to raise 92 I Dar Life I October
awareness of the plight of these ancient mariners whose very survival is threatened by accidental capture in fishing nets, hunting for meat and oil and poaching of eggs, but it is also generating a sustainable source of revenue for sea turtle conservation and supporting local community development projects. Sea turtle ecotourism is made possible by a dedicated team of community Conservation Officers who have received training from Sea Sense in sea turtle conservation. Conservation Officers patrol sea turtle nesting beaches throughout Mafia, Temeke and Pangani Districts every day, 365 days of the year. Every nest that they record is given a unique identification number and they monitor it closely during the
two month incubation period. After two months the eggs are ready to hatch and local ‘Turtle Tour Guides,’ recruited and trained by Sea Sense, are on hand to guide visitors to the nesting beach and share information about sea turtle biology and conservation efforts in Tanzania. The tiny hatchlings, measuring no more than 5cm, will emerge from their nest and make their way bravely across the beach and out into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. They will spend most of their lives alone at sea, never meeting their mother or father. After approximately 30 years, sea turtles reach maturity and come to inshore waters to breed. October 2014 I Dar Life I 93
Female turtles will return to the same beach on which they were born to lay their eggs and start the cycle again. Visitors pay a small donation to Sea Sense to participate in a sea turtle hatching experience. The donations made by visitors are split equally between Sea Sense and local communities living close to nesting beaches. Sea Sense uses the donations to support the work of Conservation Officers and Tour Guides and communities use the donations to support local development projects that have been prioritized and agreed upon by the community themselves. In the past, 94 I Dar Life I October
communities have used sea turtle ecotourism revenue to purchase school desks and books, supply village dispensaries and improve local water supplies. Observing the tiny sea turtle hatchlings as they begin their long journey to adulthood is one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences and also provides an opportunity to meet and talk with the Sea Sense team to learn first-hand about community sea turtle conservation efforts in Tanzania.
