Tanzania has been identified as the leading exporter of illegal ivory in recent years. An estimated 10,000 elephants are being slaughtered in the country annually. Here, elephants walk in the Serengeti National Reserve in northern Tanzania in 2010.

"The word 'ivory' rang in the air, was whispered, was sighed. You would think they were praying to it." — Joseph Conrad in Heart of Darkness
Conrad wrote more than a century ago, when there were no laws against shooting elephants. If anything, today's restrictions on the ivory trade have only increased its value.

The slaughter of elephants and the seizure of illegal ivory have soared to their highest levels in decades. A voracious market in Asia and chaotic wildlife protection in much of Africa have put elephant herds at risk throughout the African continent, particularly in Central and East Africa. Poachers are gunning down whole families, oblivious to game scouts.


A key battleground is Tanzania, one of the world's last great repositories of elephants. Perhaps 70,000 to 80,000 elephants roam this nation's immense sanctuaries, amounting to perhaps a quarter of all African elephants.


In colonial times, the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar held the largest ivory auctions in the world. Today Tanzania has regained that infamy. Those public auctions have been replaced by underground networks of smugglers, but Tanzania remains a leading source of ivory.


From 2009 to 2011, the country was the leading exporter of illegal ivory in the world. Thirty-seven percent of all elephant tusks seized by law enforcement came from Tanzania, with neighboring Kenya a close second.


On Saturday, customs officials in Hong Kong announced the seizure of nearly 4 tons' worth of ivory hidden in two containers shipped from Indian Ocean ports in Tanzania and Kenya.


Whether the ivory is merely transshipped through Tanzanian ports or plundered from its parks is a point of contention.


Few Protections For Elephants
Conservationists say Tanzania has for years been one of Africa's worst elephant slaughterhouses. They blame authorities who are unable or unwilling to control poaching and trafficking. The government acknowledges there is a problem and says reforms are under way.



"There's an enormous slaughter of elephants going on in Tanzania right now. Things are out of hand," says Iain Douglas-Hamilton, who has been studying and protecting elephants in Africa for 47 years. "There's no protection in numbers for elephants any more than there was for bison in the last century when they were all wiped out in America. So people shouldn't kid themselves."

Tanzania had been curiously mute over the massacre of its elephants. But recently, an avuncular, white-haired member of Parliament offered this grim assessment.


"Thirty elephants per day. At the end of the year, you're talking about 10,000 elephants killed," says James Lembeli, chairman of Parliament's Natural Resources Committee and a former National Parks official. "Move around this country where you have populations of elephants: carcasses everywhere."


In Search Of Dead Elephants
I decided to go see for myself.


Two Masai tribesmen in tire-tread sandals use elaborate whistling to herd their cattle. They know this landscape of dry thorn brush and tawny grass intimately. So they lead us to a recent elephant kill on the Tanzania-Kenya border.


We walked up on the carcass of a dead elephant. It was killed sometime last month. All that's left is a great leathery hide, gray on the outside, pink on the inside, decomposing on the savanna.


The poachers hauled off the tusks. The villagers came and cut away all the meat, and took the head and bones. The scene is being repeated again and again across Tanzania.


The poachers come in all types in Africa these days. The Democratic Republic of Congo recently accused Ugandan soldiers of machine-gunning elephants from a military helicopter. Some poachers track jumbo elephants on foot for days like big-game hunters. Others use high-tech shortcuts.


Robert Waltenburg manages Lake Chala Safari Camp, a small, private game reserve where we found the carcass. It's one of eight elephants killed here in recent weeks.

Social Media Help Poachers
Waltenburg believes his clients unintentionally guide poachers to their targets by posting photos of elephants with big tusks on social media, which are monitored by resourceful poachers.


"It's so easy to research on the Internet, just type in 'elephant sightings' in this region. Things will pop up," Waltenburg says.
“There's an enormous slaughter of elephants going on in Tanzania right now. Things are out of hand. There's no protection in numbers for elephants any more than there was for bison in last century when they were all wiped out in America.

- Iain Douglas-Hamilton, a longtime advocate for the protection of elephants



Reliable numbers of killed elephants are hard to come by. According to the MIKE program — Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants — poachers are responsible for 60 to 90 percent of elephant deaths in Tanzanian wildlife reserves. National parks like the Serengeti are better protected.


Like other African countries, Tanzania is losing its elephants to poverty, poor administration and corruption.


First, a pair of big tusks is a year's income to a subsistence peasant.


Second, wildlife rangers are ill-paid, and punishment for a convicted poacher can be as little as a $13 fine.


Third, individuals inside the Tanzania Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism have been selling out the nation's heritage that they were supposed to protect.


Wildlife Officials Implicated
In the past few months, the minister and top officials in the Wildlife Department were sacked for their roles in two scandals: taking bribes for the assignments of hunting blocs and allowing 116 live wild animals to be loaded onto a jumbo jet and smuggled out of the country to Qatar.

The new minister, a former diplomat named Khamis Kagasheki, gets high marks from wildlife advocates. In his office in Dar es Salaam, Kagasheki is asked whether people in this building helped the poachers.


"You know," he says with a deep sigh, "there has been, of course, there's been corruption."



His concern is echoed by an outspoken tour operator, Pratick Patel.


"I think a lot more firing needs to be done. We know for a fact, the whole industry knows for a fact, that a lot of the wildlife department are involved, very much involved in poaching in the game reserves," Patel says. "Unfortunately, the Wildlife Department has, to some extent, been operating like an independent company."


Kagasheki admires his northern neighbor, Kenya, where anti-poaching laws and the Wildlife Service are much tougher on elephant killers. Kagasheki says he is trying to turn around the culture of the ministry he took over five months ago.



"What I'm saying is we have to be stringent. We have absolutely no choice. These people are killing innocent animals with impunity. And when you look at these elephants, beautiful beasts," he says.


Conservationists are dubious of Tanzania's commitment to elephants.


This month, Tanzania notified the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species that the country would like to sell off its 100-ton stockpile of confiscated ivory and downgrade the protection of elephants.


The government says a one-off ivory sale will raise millions for wildlife protection. Conservationists say ivory sales just fuel the slaughter of more elephants.

Why new discoveries of natural resources probably won’t help Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, or Mozambique.

New discoveries of natural resources in several African countries—including Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, and Mozambique—raise an important question: Will these windfalls be a blessing that brings prosperity and hope, or a political and economic curse, as has been the case in so many countries?

On average, resource-rich countries have done even more poorly than countries without resources. They have grown more slowly and with greater inequality—just the opposite of what one would expect. After all, taxing natural resources at high rates will not cause them to disappear, which means that countries whose major source of revenue is natural resources can use them to finance education, health care, development, and redistribution.




A large literature in economics and political science has developed to explain this “resource curse,”and civil-society groups (such as Revenue Watch and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative) have been established to try to counter it. Three of the curse’s economic ingredients are well known:




  • Resource-rich countries tend to have strong currencies, which impede other exports;



  • Because resource extraction often entails little job creation, unemployment rises;



  • Volatile resource prices cause growth to be unstable, aided by international banks that rush in when commodity prices are high and rush out in the downturns (reflecting the time-honored principle that bankers lend only to those who do not need their money).



Moreover, resource-rich countries often do not pursue sustainable growth strategies. They fail to recognize that if they do not reinvest their resource wealth into productive investments above ground, they are actually becoming poorer. Political dysfunction exacerbates the problem, as conflict over access to resource rents gives rise to corrupt and undemocratic governments.


There are well known antidotes to each of these problems: a low exchange rate, a stabilization fund, careful investment of resource revenues (including in the country’s people), a ban on borrowing, and transparency (so citizens can at least see the money coming in and going out). But there is a growing consensus that these measures, while necessary, are insufficient. Newly enriched countries need to take several more steps in order to increase the likelihood of a “resource blessing.”




First, these countries must do more to ensure that their citizens get the full value of the resources. There is an unavoidable conflict of interest between (usually foreign) natural-resource companies and host countries: The former want to minimize what they pay, while the latter need to maximize it. Well-designed, competitive, transparent auctions can generate much more revenue than sweetheart deals. Contracts, too, should be transparent, and should ensure that if prices soar—as they have repeatedly—the windfall gain does not go only to the company.



Unfortunately, many countries have already signed bad contracts that give a disproportionate share of the resources’ value to private foreign companies. But there is a simple answer: renegotiate; if that is impossible, impose a windfall-profit tax.



All over the world, countries have been doing this. Of course, natural-resource companies will push back, emphasize the sanctity of contracts, and threaten to leave. But the outcome is typically otherwise. A fair renegotiation can be the basis of a better long-term relationship.



Botswana's renegotiations of such contracts laid the foundations of its remarkable growth for the last four decades. Moreover, it is not only developing countries, such as Bolivia and Venezuela, that renegotiate; developed countries like Israel and Australia have done so as well. Even the United States has imposed a windfall-profits tax.



Equally important, the money gained through natural resources must be used to promote development. The old colonial powers regarded Africa simply as a place from which to extract resources. Some of the new purchasers have a similar attitude.



Infrastructure (roads, railroads, and ports) has been built with one goal in mind: getting the resources out of the country at as low a price as possible, with no effort to process the resources in the country, let alone to develop local industries based on them.




Real development requires exploring all possible linkages: training local workers, developing small and medium-size enterprises to provide inputs for mining operations and oil and gas companies, domestic processing, and integrating the natural resources into the country’s economic structure. Of course, today, these countries may not have a comparative advantage in many of these activities, and some will argue that countries should stick to their strengths. From this perspective, these countries’ comparative advantage is having other countries exploit their resources.



That is wrong. What matters is dynamic comparative advantage, or comparative advantage in the long run, which can be shaped. Forty years ago, South Korea had a comparative advantage in growing rice. Had it stuck to that strength, it would not be the industrial giant that it is today. It might be the world’s most efficient rice grower, but it would still be poor.




Companies will tell Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, and Mozambique to act quickly, but there is good reason for them to move more deliberately. The resources will not disappear, and commodity prices have been rising. In the meantime, these countries can put in place the institutions, policies, and laws needed to ensure that the resources benefit all of their citizens.



Resources should be a blessing, not a curse. They can be, but it will not happen on its own. And it will not happen easily.

A gas bonanza brings hopes of wealth




THOUSANDS of tonnes of drill pipes are neatly stacked in a yard at Mtwara port in southern Tanzania, waiting to be loaded onto vessels supplying gas rigs 100km (60 miles) offshore. There drill bits, guided with centimetre-level accuracy, will bite into the seabed 2km underwater and then penetrate the reservoirs of gas that locals hope will fuel a long-awaited leap forward for their sleepy country.

Tanzania has seen many false starts. When the British colonial authorities opened the deepwater port at Mtwara in 1954, partly to replace a naval port at Simonstown in South Africa, it was billed as a turning-point for east African trade. But the port decayed and Mtwara and its cashew-growing hinterland were neglected by Tanzania’s rulers after the country became independent, initially as Tanganyika, in 1961. Work on a road linking Mtwara to Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital, began half a century ago and is still unfinished.
In this section

Most tellingly, Tanzania’s education system has failed to equip the local Makonde people with skills. Many are illiterate and lack the work ethic to satisfy even the most tolerant of employers. The Makonde are often stereotyped elsewhere in Tanzania as dancers and guards, with a love of the sensual, a talent for wooden sculpture and a taste for bush meat.
But the scale of the coming gas bonanza bears no comparison with anything in the past. Tanzania’s gasfields abut even richer ones in the waters of neighbouring Mozambique. Britain’s BG and Norway’s Statoil have won licences to exploit the bulk of the gas found so far. Tanzania’s government wants the companies to put some of the gas to use in Tanzania and to invest in local infrastructure. Exporting the rest will mean constructing a liquefied-natural-gas plant that will be the biggest project in Tanzanian history. The government has also signed up a Nigerian company, Dangote, to build a cement factory near Mtwara. A new railway will have to be laid to carry material from the port to the factory. Within a few years coal, ores, timber and food should be shipped out of Mtwara in greater quantities than before.
Joseph Simbakalia, who is in effect the region’s governor, sees the coming railway as a further opportunity for local development. Why not, he wonders, insist that spur lines are built to serve the people of Mtwara, where the population is expected to grow tenfold, to 1.3m, by 2025. Despite laws making it hard for foreigners to buy land, property prices in the Shengani area of Mtwara have tripled in the past year. As a former army engineer and a loyalist in the ruling party, Mr Simbakalia is adamant that New Mtwara must be well laid out. He says he is unrattled by festering protests, the rise of Islamists or the prevalence of witchcraft. “I am juju-proof,” he says.

A shortage of skills may be more of an obstacle. Ron Foster, the logistics manager at Mtwara’s port, says his company looked for 25 locals to train as welders but found only two who were suitable. As the required number of workers in the port doubles every few months, that means that companies must hire from abroad. Local tribes such as the Makonde, the Yao and the Makua may miss out. Foreign mining companies have previously extracted Tanzania’s diamonds, gold and ores without benefiting the locals much. Tanzania’s challenge now is to make sure that does not happen again.

MY TAKE:
In this Article any rational thinker will point out and circle in red all irregularities (EDUCATION/DEVELOPMENT) since our late Nyerere, this hunts us today in MTWARA. Perhaps TABORA and LINDI will follow is by time resources are found in their land.

Then, of what benefits are the Makua,Maonde and Yao are going to enjoy if they are of no importance beside being day workers/VIBARUA to dig and put in-place the pipes?. A silly mistake in 1960's............there main concern is evacuation with no land to dwell just to let their tents covered by wawekezaji as you name them.

Wadau, naamini wote tunaelewa jinsi nchi yetu ilivyogeuka kuwa dampo la bidhaa feki...kuanzia dawa, vyakula, bidhaa za kilimo, elektroniki, umeme, ujenzi n.k n.k. Kila mara bidhaa feki zinapokamatwa hatua inayochukuliwa na Serikali ni Uteketezaji.

Sina hakika kama wahusika wa bidhaa wanalipa gharama, lakini lililo wazi ni kuwa uteketezaji wo wote ule mara nyingi lazima utakuwa na athari kwa mazingira.

Siku za karibuni kulikuwa na taarifa kuwa kuna tani 500 za nondo feki zilikamatwa, na kuna mpango wa kuziteketeza. Binafsi sijui uteketezaji wa chuma unafanyikaje...labda wataalam watujuze.

Kitu ambacho nimekuwa najiuliza mara nyingi na sipati jibu ni:- Kwa nini bidhaa feki zisirudishwe zilikotoka (kwa gharama za muagizaji) ili wakateketeze wenyewe?!

Nina imani kabisa hili likifanyika, nchi zinakotoka bidhaa wangetoa ushirikiano kupambana na tatizo hili. Waagizaji pia wangeachana na hii tabia maana itakuwa inawaletea hasara.

Nini maoni yenu wadau? ]]> Asamwa https://www.jamiiforums.com/business-and-economic-forum/456563-kwa-nini-bidhaa-feki-zisirudishwe-zilikotoka.html Hotel ya bei mbaya duniani https://www.jamiiforums.com/business-and-economic-forum/456559-hotel-ya-bei-mbaya-duniani-new-post.html Fri, 24 May 2013 09:15:05 GMT Image: http://binscorner.com/mails/g/guinness-book-of-world-records-engineeri/part-010.jpeg Bei ya chini chumba kimoja dola 1,000 bei ya juu dolla 28,000 kwa usiku mmoja DUBAI nyota 7 pekee duniani
