Complete the habituation of a troop of Endangered Sanje mangabeys (Cercocebus galeritus sanjei) around the Udzungwa Mountains National Park headquarters at Mang’ula to enhance educational tourism for both local and international visitors. In so doing, train and build the skills of rangers and local guides to ultimately increase revenue for the park and local community.

Strategic Direction: 1 Increase the ability of local populations to benefit from and contribute to biodiversity conservation, especially in and around Lower Tana River Forests; Taita Hills; East Usambaras/Tanga; Udzungwas; and Jozani Forest
