It is focused in; Arusha and Manyara Regions, in 5 districts of Ngorongoro, Monduli, Longido, Simanjiro and Kiteto – which are seriously affected by natural resource-based conflicts resulting int human right violation and arbitrary government decisions. IPs in these districts who are in 30 villages who are approximately 250,000 indigenous peoples have natural resource conflicts with other land users such as investors, farmers, land speculators and are bordering adjacent protected areas such as Tarangire National Park and Mkungunero Game Reserve (Simanjiro and Kiteto)Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Loliondo Game Controlled Area (Ngorongoro) Longido Game Controlled Area, Enduimet WMA and Essiming or Forest Reserve, (Monduli and Longido). IPs are not engaged in resolving these conflicts.
