The Southern Highlands and Ruaha-Katavi Protection Program (SHARPP) landscape is one of Africa’s key wildlife strongholds, comprised of two national parks, three game reserves, one nature forest reserve as well as game-controlled areas, community wildlife management areas and village lands. Working with three regions, three districts and nine communities, the overall strategy is to improve management and protection of connectivity to conserve East Africa’s largest remaining elephant population, other key landscape species and the ecosystem services upon which communities depend.
