I hope it is too early to celebrate as we do not what JK government will do next bearing in mind that the budget has already been set aside for the construction. I have been reminded by what Nyerere once said when Mandela was first released from prison when people started chanting "Free Mandela". Nyerere said that mandela was not free but out of prison. So nature might have won but thegovernment may still act differently especially if foreign interests are involved.

 

We will see!

A big jail must be constructed where Tanzania will be jailed. However the unlawful action must proceed.  we will be waiting another case to request the road demolition (but) after is is constructed.

THE ANIMALS OF THE SERENGETI HAVE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EAST AFRICAN COURT OF JUSTICE RULES UNLAWFUL FOR TANZANIA TO PUT HIGHWAY THROUGH SERENGETI!!!!!!!!

"In a milestone development the East African Court of Justice has declared that constructing a bitumen road across the world famous Serengeti National Park is unlawful. The Judges have restrained the Tanzanian Government from constructing the road. The judgement in essence confirms that the prestigious Serengeti ecosystem is an invaluable world heritage site and that deserves optimal protection and restraint from high impact development that can interfere with the functions of the ecosystem to humankind.

ANAW fully respects Tanzania's sovereignty and its need for national development. However, by taking up this matter, ANAW was in actual fact protect a resource that would be of future benefit no only to Tanzanians or East Africans but also the entire humanity.

"This was not a win for ANAW, not for our lawyer, Saitabao Ole Kanchory, not for Serengeti Watch, not for our expert witness John Kuloba, but for the millions of animals in the Serengeti-mara ecosystem. It is a win for nature and God's creation. Nature has won today", Josphat Ngonyo, ANAW's executive director said after the win.

We send congratulatory messages to all our partners in Serengeti Watch and all sympathizers who walked with us over the entire period that the case was in court"

BRAVO EVERYONE!!!!! ~ Announcement from ANAW on their FB fanpage

OP ED
We are BEYONE excited - we have worked on this page diligently for 4 years to make sure this highway did not happen. Thank you so much to our donors, volunteers around the world, our directors, supporters and especially Frankfurt Zoological Society and the German government for keeping up the pressure for the Tanzanian government to accept the Southern Route.

The Tanzanian government - after years of silence on the offer by Germany to fund better roads for the locals outside of the park and to do a feasibility study for the Southern Route and the World Bank offering to fund it - finally accepted the German offer a few days ago. Perhaps a foreshadowing of today's verdict????

THANK YOU ANAW for your hard work!

THANK YOU FANS FOR YOUR DONATIONS TO HELP ANAW!

HOWEVER - we must remember the Serengeti is not safe yet - we have much work to do to stay vigilant. We also have much work to do in education the people around the Serengeti about conservation and to work to make sure they start getting a portion of the income from tourism. These have always been our goals.

SO PLEASE DON'T OPEN THE CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES and walk away just yet. Please stay with us to continue saving the Serengeti!!
We still have much work to do.
