Letter from Tanzania’s Ministry of Natural
    Resources and Tourism (22, June 2011)
                      1) The proposed road will not dissect the
                     Serengeti National Park


                       2) TANAPA will maintain jurisdiction of all
                     roads in the Serengeti for tourism and
                     administration only (not commercial traffic)



                       3) New paved roads to address the socio-
                     economic needs of rural communities will not
                     be adjacent to the park (122 km of
                     ecologically sensitive area between Loliondo
                     and Mugumu will be left)

                       4) The Government of Tanzania is
                     considering the construction of a route south
                     of the park (many donors including the
                     World Bank and the German Government
                     have already offered support)

  Re: STATE OF CONSERVATION OF SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

The United Republic of Tanzania is honored to take this opportunity to clarify on the proposed
tarmac road in northern Tanzania.

The proposed road will be constructed in two sections:
 (i) The eastern stretch of 214 km tarmac road which will be constructed from Mto wa Mbu to
       Loliondo,
 (ii) The western stretch tarmac road that will be constructed from Makutano-Natta-Mugumu, a
distance of 117 km. The stretch of 12 km from Mugumu to the Serengeti National Park western
border plus a corresponding stretch of 57.6 km from Loliondo to Serengeti National Park
eastern border will not be tannac. The 53 km section traversing Serengeti National Park will
remain gravel road and continue to be managed by TANAPA mainly for tourism and
 administrative purposes as it is currently.

In view of this intended plan of constsuction, the State Party confirms that the proposed road will
not dissect the Serengeti National Park and therefore will not affect the migration and
conservation values of the Property. The ongoing ESIA will take into consideration these
developments and will be submitted to WHC accordingly.

This decision has been reached in order to address the increasing socio-economic needs of the
rural communities in Northern Tanzania while safeguarding the Outstanding Universal Value
(OUV) of Serengeti National Park. The Government of United Republic of Tanzania is also
seriously considering the constsuction of a road from Mugumu to Arusha running south of
Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park.

               MINISTER FOR NATURAL RESOURCES AND TOURISM

Letter from Tanzania’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (22, June 2011) 1) The proposed road will not dissect the Serengeti National Park 2) TANAPA will maintain jurisdiction of all roads in the Serengeti for tourism and administration only (not commercial traffic) 3) New paved roads to address the socio- economic needs of rural communities will not be adjacent to the park (122 km of ecologically sensitive area between Loliondo and Mugumu will be left) 4) The Government of Tanzania is considering the construction of a route south of the park (many donors including the World Bank and the German Government have already offered support)

  • 43. THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND TOURISM Telegrams: "MALIASILI" P.O. Box 9372 DAR ES SALAAM DAR ES SALAAM Telephone: 255 22 21 11063 Fax: 255 22 2123158 On reply please quote: Ref. NO. EA.297?593/01/20 22"d June 201 1 Director, World Heritage Centre, 7, Place de Fontenoy 75352 Paris 07 SP, FRANCE Re: STATE OF CONSERVATION OF SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK The United Republic of Tanzania is honored to take this opportunity to clarify on the proposed tarmac road in northern Tanzania. The proposed road will be constructed in two sections: (i) The eastern stretch of 214 km tarmac road which will be constructed from Mto wa Mbu to Loliondo, (ii) The western stretch tarmac road that will be constructed from Makutano-Natta-Mugumu, a distance of 117 km. The stretch of 12 km from Mugumu to the Serengeti National Park western border plus a corresponding stretch of 57.6 km from Loliondo to Serengeti National Park eastern border will not be tannac. The 53 km section traversing Serengeti National Park will remain gravel road and continue to be managed by TANAPA mainly for tourism and administrative purposes as it is currently. In view of this intended plan of constsuction, the State Party confirms that the proposed road will not dissect the Serengeti National Park and therefore will not affect the migration and conservation values of the Property. The ongoing ESIA will take into consideration these developments and will be submitted to WHC accordingly. This decision has been reached in order to address the increasing socio-economic needs of the rural communities in Northern Tanzania while safeguarding the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of Serengeti National Park. The Government of United Republic of Tanzania is also seriously considering the constsuction of a road from Mugumu to Arusha running south of Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park. EZEKIEL MAIGE MINISTER FOR NATURAL RESOURCES AND TOURISM
