The Serengeti-Mara squeeze – One of the world’s most iconic ecosystems under pressure

Pers / media: OnderzoekAcademic

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. Dr. Michiel Veldhuis, lead author of the study from the University of Groningen: “This finding alters our view on what is needed to protect biodiversity.”

    BeschrijvingThe premise of Our Planet, Netflix’s new nature documentary, is to include humans in the story of Earth. ....... A study released just last week in Science found that human activity over the past 40 years on the edge of the Serengeti has, in the researchers’ words, “‘squeezed’ wildlife into the core protected area and has altered the ecosystem’s dynamics” including fire on the landscape, carbon storage, and food for grazers. 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.

    BeschrijvingEine faszinierende Savannenlandschaft voller Tiere – 1959 hat die Kinodokumentation „Serengeti darf nicht sterben“ das bedrohte Naturparadies Afrikas bekannt gemacht. Seitdem hat sich zwar viel für den Schutz des Serengeti-Mara-Ökosystems getan, doch nun schlagen Forscher erneut Alarm: Der wachsende Siedlungsdruck rund um das Schutzgebiet treibt die Tiere in die Kernbereiche, zeigt ihre Studie. Dadurch kommen schädliche Prozesse in Gang, die sich möglicherweise bald nicht mehr umkehren lassen. Der Naturschutz und die Interessen der Bevölkerung der Region müssen dringend in Einklang gebracht werden, sonst droht der ökologische Kollaps, sagen die Wissenschaftler.

    BeschrijvingThe Serengeti-Mara ecosystem is one of the largest and most protected ecosystems on Earth, spanning 40,000 square kilometres and taking in the Serengeti National Park and Maasai Mara National Reserve in East Africa.

    Every year a million wildebeest, half a million gazelle and 200,000 zebra make the perilous trek from the Serengeti national park in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara reserve in Kenya in their search for water and grazing land.

    Now, an international team of scientists have discovered that increased human activity along the boundaries is having a detrimental impact on plants, animals, and soils.

    BeschrijvingIncreased 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. Dr. Michiel Veldhuis, lead author of the study from the University of Groningen: “This finding alters our view on what is needed to protect biodiversity.”

    BeschrijvingJeden z najsłynniejszych obszarów chronionych na świecie, ekosystem łączący Park Narodowy Serengeti w Tanzanii i rezerwat Masai Mara w Kenii, coraz silniej odczuwa negatywny wpływ aktywności człowieka. 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.

    BeschrijvingThe 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.
