Always great hearing positive testmony from communities on how they have benefited from wildlife.I interviewed #Six and he was very happy indeed being in the Park.
I must congratulate Dr @AmyDickman4 on this, changing communities attitude towards wildlife is not a small job👏🇹🇿

Six Gare lives in one of the communities next to #RuahaNationalPark and speaks about the benefits that he and his family experience through the wildlife programmes run by @ruahacarnivores

@mkainerugaba I don't expect a tweet like this from someone trusted for leadership.

[Fenrick Msigwa @FenrickMsigwa]

@mkainerugaba Real?,

@grok can comments more on this

[Fenrick Msigwa @FenrickMsigwa]

@grok @Eva7Cfc @mkainerugaba Ohoo my God, @grok seems to know things

[Fenrick Msigwa @FenrickMsigwa]

@realJennaEllis Indeed 🙏

[Fenrick Msigwa @FenrickMsigwa]

It turns out village lands are a vital habitat for these amazing animals, and the community is a huge part of the conservation solution.

[Fenrick Msigwa @FenrickMsigwa]

After many rounds with reviewers, our paper is finally published! and I'm so excited to share it, it is titled
"Local Ecological Knowledge Insights Into the Distribution and Activity Patterns of Temminck's Pangolin in Ruaha Landscape, Tanzania"

[Fenrick Msigwa @FenrickMsigwa]

Our research shows just how much we can learn from local communities. Their knowledge was key to understanding where pangolins live and what they're up to.

[WildCRU, Oxford @WildCRU_Ox]

Private investment could help fund human-wildlife coexistence - but who sets the terms? Success depends not just on conservation metrics but on early, ongoing, and equitable engagement with local communities. Co-design isn’t a bonus, it’s the foundation.

Thrilled to share our first scientific publication on Temminck’s pangolins from Tanzania published in the Peer reviewed Journal, focusing on the illegal trade of this elusive species.

[Fenrick Msigwa @FenrickMsigwa]

Our paper, titled “Illegal Harvest, Use, and Trade in Temminck’s Pangolins by Communities Adjacent to Ruaha National Park, Tanzania,” This paper highlight the critical issues and offers actionable insights for conserving this understudied species in Tanzania.

[Fenrick Msigwa @FenrickMsigwa]

Attended the #ACCB conference organized by the Society of Conservation Biology at MWEKA-Moshi, and there we presented several insights on the Tanzania Pangoli status and conservation that TRCO is doing. Open the link to have further insight.
