Dr. William Newmark's research is revealing that
seasonal mammal migrations are being disrupted
as humans encroach on protected land. And
worse-that these disruptions may lead to the
collapse of some populations. He discusses these
problems, and potential solutions, in two brand
new articles in the prestigious journals Ecology
Letters and Frontiers in Ecology and the
Environment.
Dear Earthwatcher,
Imagine bumping along a dusty East African road
in an all-terrain vehicle, thorny acacia
branches brushing past. You're surrounded on all
sides by herds of zebras, wildebeests, and
giraffes, their heads bobbing above the others
atop long, graceful necks. They all surge
ahead-on a mission, as they have each season for
years.
Are you imagining yourself as a National
Geographic journalist or wildlife photographer?
You don't have to be either of these things to
see the world in a unique and special way. You
can just be you.
At Earthwatch, we connect real people with
scientists conducting environmental research and
conservation projects on wildlife in amazing
locations all over the globe. Now we're thrilled
to support the

the Tarangire Migration project in beautiful
Tanzania.
One of Africa's most politically stable
countries and home to three of the most famous
protected areas on the continent, visitors flock
to Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro, set out on
safaris through the Serengeti, and visit famed
Olduvai Gorge, where the remains of our earliest
human ancestors were discovered.
But it is a less well-known Tanzanian reserve
that boasts the highest diversity of large
migratory mammals of any park in the world.
Tarangire National Park provides habitat for
more than 60 large mammal species and 450 bird
species. This peaceful park harbors stunning
views of Mount Kilimanjaro and rivals the
Serengeti when it comes to wildlife-yet it's
free from masses of tourists.
While leopards, buffalos, baboons, lions,
crocodiles, and elephants all call Tarangire
home, Dr. William Newmark needs your help
studying herds of wildebeests, zebras and
giraffes making their seasonal march across the
dry land. These three species represent a number
of animal groups that move into the park in the
dry season and back out in the wet season,
searching for food and water.
Dr. Newmark, lead scientist of the

the Tarangire Migration project, believes that
more information on these animals and their
migrations is needed to protect them in the face
of habitat destruction, poaching, climate
change, and other challenges. You can help
collect this vital data.
Join us as we journey to an African National
Park teaming with life and possibility. You can
help save the Tarangire migration today.
