8. An Appraisal of the Legal Framework for the Management and Conservation of Tanzania's Wetlands
(Uongozi Journal of Management Development, 2003) Majamba, Hamudi I.
This paper examines Tanzania’s legal framework for the conservation and management of wetlands. Its underlying thesis is that the existing laws do not echo the obligations of the Ramsar Convention to which the government has acceded. The paper argues that wetland conservation and management has basically not risen on the list of priorities of the natural resources conservation and management legal framework. It recommends that there is a need to develop a comprehensive law to deal with wetland conservation and management.
An Appraisal of Tanzania’s Legislative Framework on Environment in the Context of REDD+ Safeguards
(2012-10) Majamba, Hamudi I.
The degradation of the world's forests which contributes significantly to emissions from forest ecosystems has raised alarm due to its role in global warming. To address the concern, the concept of Reducing Emissions from Deforestations and forest Degradation (REDD)** was designed as a world wide scheme, aimed at reimbursing countries for protecting their forests and reducing emissions of greenhouse pollutants, especially carbon dioxide. Under the scheme, developed countries seek to purchase carbon credits from developing countries' concerted efforts in conserving and managing forests in their jurisdictions.
