Not
only the famous wildlife parks in northern Tanzania offer best tourist
attractions by their animal diversity.
Birdlife,
natural forests, waterfalls and natural scenery are unbeatable tourist
attractions easily found in the Eastern Arc Mountains, covering a large
geographical area of eastern Tanzania. Their cool weather is exceptional.
Southern
Highlands of Tanzania is the most attractive destination, dominated by the
Eastern Arc Mountains, made up of Uporoto, Kipengere and Livingstone ranges.
The
Eastern Arc Mountains are listed as a global biodiversity hotspot. The World
Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) recognizes the Eastern Arc Mountains as a “Global
2000 Hotspot”.
Conservation
International ranks the Eastern Arc Mountains together with the East African
Coastal Forests as the 24th most important global biodiversity hotspot for
plant endemism. Combined, these 24 top biodiversity hotspots hold within their
borders, almost 50 per cent of the world’s plant species.
In
the Eastern Arc, these high levels of flora and fauna specie endemism are
contained in only 5,000 square kilometers of highly fragmented and isolated
forests; hence the synonymous title of “The Galapagos of Africa”.
The
Eastern Arch forests maintain vital water catchments badly needed by
communities in the surrounding villages, dry low lands and for several major
urban centers in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania.
Eastern
Arc are also the source of timber and other forest products in Southern
Highlands, notably the scenic Sao Hill, Mgololo and other forests in Iringa,
Njombe and Mbeya regions. Timber is the leading economic activities to
communities living in Mufindi, Njombe and Mafinga localities.
The
mountains provide favourable weather conditions for tea plantations covering
the Southern Highlands of Tanzania, and which are major economic activities in
those areas.
Uporoto
Mountains, Kipengere and Livingstone Mountains in Mbeya are rich with avifauna
(birdlife) and plants. The Eastern Arc mountains, on the other side, stands as
the major source of incomes to local communities in Southern Highlands of
Tanzania, while providing Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs) in those areas.
Under
good management of resources, the Eastern Arc ranges would support economic
development to local communities, hence, raise the level of income generation
among local communities depending on their resources.
