Aerial view of a meandering river and floodplain in Tanzania

Holding the line for Tanzania's wild places.

Conservation happens through daily anti-poaching patrols, research, and constant presence across one of Tanzania's most remote ecosystems.

A vast & vulnerable ecosystem.

Adam Clements Wildlife Conservation operates across roughly 10,000 square kilometers in Tanzania's Moyowosi Game Reserve, Zanzibar and Lake Natron North — a remote floodplain of rivers, swamps, and woodland. It is one of the last intact wetland ecosystems in East Africa. Elephant, hippo, sitatunga, and large predators still exist here — but only under constant pressure.

When protection increases, wildlife returns.

Without protection, it disappears.

  • Livestock is pushed into the reserve for grazing
  • Illegal fishing spreads across the river
  • Timber is cut
  • Snares are set

How we protect it.

  • 365 days a year of anti-poaching patrols
  • Boat patrols across river systems
  • Vehicle and foot patrols
  • Helicopter support
  • Road building

What this work looks like on the ground.

This is daily work across a remote, difficult landscape. Patrol teams operating on foot, by boat, and by air. Illegal activity removed. Access opened. Presence maintained.

Additional Conservation Work.

Protection here goes beyond patrols. Long-term success depends on reducing pressure on land, supporting communities, and restoring key species.

Community & Water Projects

Boreholes, local employment, and infrastructure projects support surrounding communities and reduce reliance on protected land.

Zanzibar Conservation & Breeding

Anti-poaching operations and a growing breeding program focused on restoring native species like the Aders' duiker.
