| dc.description.abstract | In 1989 the Royal Geographical Society was asked to mount an ecological inventory study of the Mkomazi Game Reserve, by the Wildlife Department of the Tanzanian Government. This request came as a result of the very successful outcome of the Society's Kora Research Project in eastern Kenya, between 1982 and 1985 (Coe 1985, Coe and Collins 1986). This Project undertook a programme of describing the flora and fauna of the Kora National Reserve, with a view to providing the information that would be necessary for the Kenya Government to plan the future utilisation and management of this little disturbed area of Acacia-Commiphora bushland. The response of the RGS to this invitation was to ask Dr Malcolm Coe, who led the Kora Research Project to plan a new venture in collaboration with the Tanzanian Government in 1990, with a view to mounting a joint Mkomazi Ecological Research Programme (MERP), which would provide research and training opportunities for UK-based scientists and their Tanzanian counterparts. For this collaborative programme we identified the University of Dar-es-Salaam (Department of Zoology) and the African College of Wildlife Management, Mweka, as suitable bodies to provide the young Tanzanian scientists to collaborate in our work. | en_US |
