What happens in the forest when no one is watching?
The answer is hidden in thousands of camera-trap images. Between April - June 2026, 26 cameras were deployed in JUHIWANGUMWA WMA, with 24 successfully analysed, recording 26 mammal species. Elephants, buffaloes, baboons and zebras were among the most frequently detected, while northwestern JUHIWANGUMWA emerged as a key elephant-use hotspot.

These findings provide more than wildlife records they show how community-managed conservation can protect biodiversity, sustain ecological connectivity and support the wider Selous–Nyerere ecosystem. Every image captured is a piece of evidence helping us understand, protect and conserve this important landscape.

The survey was conducted by the with support from under the Project, funded by

Katika kuwatambua vijana wanaotoa mchango chanya katika jamii zao, tunakutana na Philomena Komba, mwanachama wa Village Game Scouts (VGS) kutoka kijiji cha Ndongosi, Songea mkoani Ruvuma. Philomena ametumia elimu ya uhifadhi wa mazingira aliyoipata kupitia mafunzo yaliyofanyika Likuyu Sekamaganga, na kuichanganya na maarifa ya asili aliyorithi kutoka kwa babu na mababu zake. Kupitia maarifa hayo, amekuwa mstari wa mbele katika kuhamasisha jamii yake kulinda na kuhifadhi misitu ya asili iliyopo katika eneo lao kwa kutambua umuhimu wake kwa maisha ya sasa na ya baadaye.

Akizungumza kuhusu umuhimu wa kuhifadhi misitu, Philomena anasema:

“Nawashauri marafiki zangu na vijana wenzangu kuitumia misitu kwa uangalifu na uendelevu ili iweze kunufaisha hata vizazi vijavyo. Wazee wetu wanasema tumerithishwa, na ni wajibu wetu kuhakikisha tunairithisha kwa vizazi vinavyokuja.”

WWF works to empower coastal communities and small-scale fishers as stewards of marine resources by strengthening their capacity, participation, and leadership in sustainable marine resources management, while improving livelihoods and promoting healthy oceans exosystems.

Through the Marine Programme, WWF – Tanzania has supported and capacitated Beach Management Units (BMUs) across the RUMAKI (Rufiji Mafia, Kilwa and Kibiti) Plus Seascape. As a result, coastal communities have gained a better understanding of sustainable fishing practices, mangrove ecosystem restoration, and diversified livelihood opportunities through Nature-based Solutions (NbS), including beekeeping and seaweed farming. These inititives are helping to build resilient coastal communities that contribute to both marine resources conservation and sustainable livelihood economy.
