Abstract

ABSTRACT Wildlife management areas (WMAs) have been used as a wildlife conservation model with a dual purpose: improving wildlife conservation and livelihoods of rural communities. While some WMAs such as Burunge WMA have been found to support species-rich and abundant wildlife communities, particularly large mammals, some wildlife taxa, including birds, have not been thoroughly studied. This study reports on the bird species (as well as their relative abundances) found in Acacia woodlands in Burunge WMA. From 106, 20-species lists, 145 species were observed, including 22 out of 77 Somali – Masai biome-restricted species found in Tanzania. The results suggest that the Acacia woodlands in Burunge WMA provide habitats for a diversity of birds. Given the diverse avifauna, the Burunge WMA remains as an important birding site within the Tarangire – Manyara ecosystem, and therefore, improving awareness will not only make the area potential for avitourism, but also encourage further avian research.
对坦桑尼亚北部Burunge野生动物管理区金合欢林地鸟类的贡献
野生动物管理区(wma)作为一种具有双重目的的野生动物保护模式:改善野生动物保护和改善农村社区生计。虽然一些WMA如Burunge WMA已被发现支持物种丰富和丰富的野生动物群落,特别是大型哺乳动物,但一些野生动物分类群,包括鸟类,尚未得到充分研究。本研究报告了在Burunge WMA金合欢林地中发现的鸟类种类(以及它们的相对丰度)。在106,20个物种列表中,观察到145种,其中包括在坦桑尼亚发现的77种索马里-马赛族生物群落限制物种中的22种。结果表明,Burunge地区的金合欢林地为多种鸟类提供了栖息地。考虑到鸟类的多样性,Burunge WMA仍然是Tarangire - Manyara生态系统中重要的观鸟地点,因此,提高认识不仅可以使该地区成为潜在的旅游胜地,还可以鼓励进一步的鸟类研究。
