Construction of the biggest hydropower generation plant inside the Selous Game Reserve in southern Tanzania had raised an alarm to wildlife conservationists fearing to see negative impacts on tourism development inside this biggest wildlife conserved area in Africa.
Conservation experts fear seeing the mega-power generation plant at Stiegler’s Gorge in the Selous Game Reserve, as it may hamper conservation of wildlife and nature in this biggest African wildlife reserve that is highly affected by elephant poachers.
They fear that the Stiegler’s Gorge hydropower generation plant would encourage industrial activities in northern parts of the Selous Game Reserve, famous for wildlife concentration in Africa.
