The first Africa's wildlife park designed for clear viewing
of rhino is different from other national parks where rhinos hide most of the
time. The new design for African black rhinos that are now extinct on earth was
launched by the Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, Dr Damas Ndumbaro
on Wednesday.
It is a new attraction for people, who like to see and learn
more about African black rhinos.
Dr Ndumbaro who was accompanied by his deputy, Ms Mary
Masanja and the Permanent Secretary Dr Allan Kijazi, commended Mkomazi National
Park and Tanzania National Parks management for the initiatives that are set to
bring many tourists and earn the country more income.
In a new initiative to improve functions of the Ministry and
its institutions, Dr Ndumbaro announced shifting of Forest Industries Training
Institute (FITI) headquarters from Moshi, Kilimanjaro to Mafinga.
In Mafinga, there are huge tree plantations many raw
materials for making furniture and a huge area that measures 120 hectares,
where the headquarters will be constructed. Moshi will remain as a FITI branch.
In another development, the headquarters of the Tanzania
Wildlife Authority (TAWA) will be moved to Dar es Salaam from Morogoro.
The move seeks to be closer with its clients as more than 90
per cent are in Dar es Salaam. The minister furthermore announced that Tanzania
Forests Authority (TFS) headquarters will be shifted to Mwanza from Dar es
Salaam. That will result in putting more weight on deforestation activities
that are rampant in Mwanza and Lake Zone generally.
TFS will manage a new move to plant trees in the zone. As
for Tanzania National Parks; Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) and Ngorongoro
Conservation Area Authority (NCAA), their headquarters will remain in Arusha
that is the gateway of tourism in the country.
