Still proving difficult balance needs wildlife conservation & local people
Human population aorund park - growing, < settlements & farms built near park each year.
Conflicts- agriculture & conservation e.g. elephants sometimes raid maize crops- conservation unpopular local people.
Some local people refused to stop farming and hunting within WMAs - some areas still being over-exploited.
Outside WMAs poaching still problem Serengeti
40,000 animals killed each year- meat & other products. Mostly wilderbeast, if human population around park increase conrtinues- rapid decline wilderbeast population
Tourism can have number negative impacts:
disturb & sometimes distress animals // road vehicles & aeroplanes cause air and noise pollution
Construction & use of roads, trails, campsites have environmental impact- increased erosion and habitat loss.// tourism increases water demand- H20 shortages.
