Abstract
The history of research in Serengeti shows that with every decade different problems have appeared. These problems have been addressed by researchers with a view to providing information to be used by the Park managers. The earliest problems related to the lack of basic information on how the ecosystem worked – where did the migration go? What limited populations? Later decades produced problems related to the impact of increasing human populations on the habitats and animal numbers, and also how the Protected Area affects surrounding peoples – how was fire changing the savanna? How was poaching changing ungulate populations? How were animals damaging crops? Recent problems are focused on the impacts of development – how does a road across northern Serengeti affect the migration? How would offtake of water from the Mara River affect migrant species? Research has provided the relevant information and in most cases successful management decisions have been taken. Tanzania as a whole has also benefited from this research. We show how it is directly relevant to the major national concerns of economics, health, social welfare, ecosystem services and conservation.
