HIGHLIFE FOR WILDLIFE

USHOROBA:
Who is responsible for the conservation of our wildlife?


In the tradition of African highlife music and the local music culture, the Ushoroba Band of Namtumbo in southern Tanzania plays music to celebrate the Selous-Niassa wildlife corridor and community wildlife management.

Ushoroba is the local Kiswahili name for the Selous - Niassa wildlife corridor. It connects the largest protected areas in Africa: the Selous Game Reserve of Tanzania and the Niassa Game Reserve of Mozambique. The conservation of the miombo forests in this unique landscape ensures the undisturbed migration of elephants and other wildlife linking the protected areas to one of the largest elephant ranges in the world. The corridor is located in Tanzania's Ruvuma region and is managed by 29 villages from Namtumbo and Tunduru districts. The villagers formed five community-based organisations (Mbarang'andu, Nalika, Chingoli, Kisungule and Kimbanda), which are responsible for the management of natural resources on their village wildlife management areas (WMAs). These WMAs form a contiguous network that will ensure the protection of the Selous - Niassa wildlife corridor.

The songs are addressed to the local communities of the corridor to raise awareness about threats to biodiversity and to promote sustainable community-based conservation, which will result in short and long-term benefits for the communities and their environment.

Song #1 Tunatoa pongezi.mp3

Song #2 Faida ya ushoroba.mp3

All songs are composed and performed by the USHOROBA CULTURAL GROUP from Namtumbo town and represent the musical style and culture of the major ethnic groups in the corridor, which are the Udendeule, Ngoni and Yao.
