In Danger

Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve faces severe conservation threats due to the potential impacts of the Rufiji Hydropower Project. An independent technical review of the project’s Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) has raised significant concerns about its environmental consequences. The findings underscore the urgent need for reevaluation and mitigation measures to protect this ecologically vital region, which supports critical wildlife populations and biodiversity. The study highlights the importance of rigorous environmental assessments in large-scale infrastructure projects to ensure sustainable development without compromising heritage values.
