The study concludes that conserving some semblance of the ecosystems at the heart of the Serengeti—and ensuring wild cheetah hunts continue as they have for thousands of years—will mean better managing development outside protected areas.

As a result of human interference in these vast natural areas, the entire ecosystem is at risk of collapse.Producer/Author Joe Pinkstone URL https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6861135/Iconic-animals-threatened-surge-human-populations-Serengeti.html Persons Michiel Veldhuis, Han Olff Title The Serengeti-Mara squeeze – One of the world’s most iconic ecosystems under pressure Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Press release UG Media type Web Country/Territory Netherlands Date 28/03/2019 Description Increased human activity around one of Africa’s most iconic ecosystems is “squeezing the wildlife in its core”, damaging habitation and disrupting the migration routes of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle, an international study has concluded. The study, led by the University of Groningen and with collaborators at 11 institutions around the world, looked at 40 years of data, and revealed that some boundary areas have seen a 400 per cent increase in human population over the past decade while larger wildlife species populations in key areas (the Kenyan side) were reduced by more than 75%. The findings are published this week in the scientific journal Science.

Wyniki międzynarodowych badań prowadzonych przez 11 instytucji naukowych pod kierunkiem ekspertów z Uniwersytetu w Groningen pokazują, że rosnąca wokół rezerwatów liczba miejscowej ludności i jej aktywność gospodarcza przyczyniają się do niszczenia środowiska i zakłócania szlaków migracji antylop gnu, zebr i gazeli. Artykuł opublikowany w najnowszym numerze czasopismo "Science" wskazuje na potrzebę zmiany mechanizmów ochrony tego typu obszarów.

Title People are taking a huge toll on the plains of the Serengeti-Mara Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 01/04/2019 Description The Serengeti-Mara is made up of pastoral community lands and 12 major protected areas, including the world famous Maasai Mara national reserve and the Serengeti national park. These make up, what we call, the “core protected area”.
But despite its vast protected areas, the Serengeti-Mara is being threatened.
In our new research we show how activities by people – like farming, erecting fences and settlements – are proliferating around the borders of the core protected areas. This is putting huge pressure on the area’s environment, natural resources and wildlife.Producer/Author Joseph Ogutu URL theconversation.com/people-are-taking-a-huge-toll-on-the-plains-of-the-serengeti-mara-114389 Persons Michiel Veldhuis Title Bevolkingsgroei zet natuurreservaat Serengeti onder druk Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet De Volkskrant Media type Print Country/Territory Netherlands Date 29/03/2019 Description Twee van de bekendste natuurreservaten van Afrika, Serengeti in Tanzania en Masai Mara in Kenia, staan onder toenemende druk door bevolkingsgroei.
