Summary

Description
Afrikaans: Brandskade aan die rande van Minzirobos in noordwestelike Tanzanië, ekwatoriale Afrika
Hierdie area aan die westelike rand van Minzirobos word via 'n bospaadjie bereik wat die westelike en oostelike grasveldgebiede verbind, waar lg. vanaf Minzirodorp bereik word. Ten tye van die besoek was daar baie mense met beeste in die westelike grasveld, waarvan sommige, te oordeel aan die beesspore op die bospad, en die beeskuddes weerskante van die woud, deur die woud moes getrek het. Beeswagters mag hul kuddes van die dorp tot aan die reservaatgrens laat wei, maar het duidelik die woud en hinterland betree, waar hulle miskien selfs die grens met Uganda oorsteek. Waarskynlik brand hulle die gras, aangesien reservaatpersoneel kwalik hierdie area besoek, weens onbegaanbare paaie, beperkte voertuigbrandstof en die uitgestrekheid van die gebied onder hulle bestuur. Die veldbrande ontsien geen reservaatgrens nie, en affekteer die bosrande soos op die reeks fotos gesien kan word. Besoekers kan hierdie verbindingspad met toestemming van die bosadministrasie benut. Die administrasie, bestuur en veldwagters beoog die popularisering van die area, maar word gekortwiek deur die gebrek aan goeie grond- of tweespoorpaaie.
English: Burnt edges of Minziro Forest in Minziro Nature Forest Reserve in northwestern Tanzania, equatorial Africa.
This area is on the western fringe of Minziro forest, and is reached via a forest track the connects the western and eastern grassland areas, the latter reached from Minziro village. At the time these photos were taken, the western grassland area was frequented by many people with their cattle. Some of them, judging by the many cattle tracks along the forest corridor and the presence of herds on either side, were passing through the forest. Cattle herders are allowed to graze their animals from Minziro village to the reserve boundary, but they were clearly entering the forest and beyond, perhaps even crossing the Tanzania-Ugandan border. It is assumed that the cattle herders burn the grass, as local rangers hardly approach this area, due to impassable roads (very rough in dry season and impassable in wet season), limited fuel for their vehicles, the size of the area that requires management and other needs. The grass burning does not respect reserve boundaries and is affecting the forest edges as may be seen on the photos. Visitors can travel along this connecting track with permission of the Forest Administration. The administration, management and rangers are interested in promoting the Forest Reserve, but the absence of good trails or usable roads hamper their efforts.
