“Other protected areas” refers to the definition of the term “Other area-effective conservation measure” (AMCE) adopted in 2018 by the world’s governments, in a decision of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
It means “A geographically defined area other than a Protected Area, which is governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the insitu conservation of biodiversity, with associated ecosystem functions and services and where applicable, cultural, spiritual, socio–economic, and other locally relevant values”.
Clearly defined geographical areas, aimed at restoring or conserving ecological connectivity, through action by individuals, communities, institutions and businesses, to maintain, enhance and restore ecological flows, species movement and dynamic processes in intact and fragmented environments.
The “great migratory axes” designate migratory routes between several natural areas on the scale of the African continent. They provide a global vision of major flows, illustrating complexes of natural areas and the migration routes of the species that make them up.

Although the definition of corridors in Tanzania usually is taken to mean movement between two areas of ” habitat richness” through a “disturbed” landscape, some of the wildlife movements through the Kilombero-Udzungwa and Ruipa(-East) area used to be seasonal dispersals in response to water and food. However, since then, these dispersal areas eventually became part […]
