Brève description
Until, not even 150 years ago, millions of Africans had to bear a cruel fate. They were captured by slave hunters,
chained together and forced to walk some times hundred of kilometers to be sold for example to planters who used
them as cheap labour in their fields. Central and East Africa was one of the main areas where the slave hunters and
traders, most of them Arabs made their shade deals. They caught their victims e.g. in some areas which is today
parts of Democratic Republic of Congo and in the Western and Central parts of what is today Tanzania. The Slaves
were brought to the coast and from there to the spice island of Zanzibar and many were sold further to the Arab
countries, Persia, and India, Mauritania and Reunion. Officially, the slave trade was forbidden in 1873 under British
pressure, but it went on secretly for several years. One of the routes that were used by the traders’ caravan started in
Ujiji at the shore of Lake Tanganyika. It went over 1200 kilometers and ended in Bagamoyo just opposite of Zanzibar
on main land Tanzania. Many experts view this as the main route of mainly three that were documented for East
Africa. By now the list includes the Ujiji-Bagamoyo route as a whole. The idea is not only to protect the still visible
reminds of the dark past like Arab Forts and other historic buildings or parts of the route that are existing, but also to
intensify the research around the topic, to document the memories about the era and to preserve the culture and the
traditions of the communities living along the route. In this regard, there are possibilities of Trans-national Nomination
with neighbouring countries like Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya and Mozambique. This
possibility will be investigated during the nomination process. Six centres have been identified along the central slave
route to include Bagamoyo, Mamboya, Mpwapwa, Kilimatinde, Kwihara and Ujiji Bagamoyo Due to its location along
the Indian Ocean and being a major harbor and town along the coast of Tanzania that played a key role in the East
Africa Slave trade; Bagamoyo is a “place of memory” for human suffering and humiliation caused by Slavery and the
Slave trade and the imposition of European colonialism. The population of Bagamoyo groups is the result of the
interaction and fusion of different ethnic groups from the interaction and fusion of different ethinic groups from the
hinterland and immediate coastal built especially the Wazaramo, Wadoe, Wakwere and Wazigua and the interiors
especially Wanyamwezi and Wamanyema. Bagamoyo serves as the terminal which starts from Ujiji. From
Bagamoyo, slaves were shipped to Zanzibar where the slave market used to be Important slave trade evidence
include slave and slave descendants, buildings such as Caravan Serai, Von Wissman block, Old market, Customs
house and the Old fort. Also the freedom village at the R.C. Mission premises and the RC Museum that has enough
documentation Mamboya Located in Morogoro Region; Kilosa District is a very old settlement. Historical landmarks
include mango stretch plantations, slave and slave traders descendents, graveyard for the Wanyamwezi, remains of
Anglican Church and an area where the house belonging to one slave trade was built. Cards, coins and domestic
utensils are available as well. Mpwapwa Located in Mpwapwa District, Dodoma Region in central Tanzania Important
landmarks include part of the path at Vinga’we Village still visible and in use. Others include the Anglican Church built
at a place where the first church was as evidence of missionaries who fought against slave trade. Descendants of
slaves and slave traders are also part of the present community. Kilimatinde Located in Manyoni District, Singida
Region. Kilimatinde is another important place on the route where caravan rested at a well. The village with Arabic
house, market and late the seat for the German administrative is an important place for information along the route.
There existing small Arabic houses that are abandoned. Kazeh (Tabora) Kazeh was established by traders involved
in the East Africa slave and Ivory trade on the area given to the traders chief Fundikara of Unyanayembe in 1852.it
rapidly development into a key market centre located as it was at an interaction between the trading routes to the
coast and those further inland to the Congo and north to what is today Burundi. By 1871, it was estimated to have a
population for 5000, by the 1890s the population had grown to about 20,000. The only building of significance that
has survived is the Kwihara Livingstone Tembe. The Tembe was built by a wealth Arab Slave trader in 1857. The
owner gave it to Dr. Livingstone. The building contribution continued to be throughout the colonial period, and was
pronounced historical monuments one hundred years later, in 1957 when also major repairs were done on it. Other
evidence is a mosque and residence near the Tembe, a Well, Mango trees, and coconut and date tree plantations.
Ujiji Ujiji was the last major trading center of the central of Caravan Trade Route located on the shores of Lake
Tanganyika. It was a trading centre for slave and ivory coming from different parts of Lake Tanganyika, including
Eastern region of Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. By 1876, Stanley estimated that Ujiji had a
population of 3,000 It is located within Kigoma Township, 5 km west of Kigoma Railway station. Important land marks
are a site of formal port (no longer existing) coconuts and Mango Tree Avenue, Usagara grounds where slaves used
to be held and auctioned and a site where the house of the former slave trade by the name of Tippu Tip used. A path
running between Ujiji seminary and Kaluta Primary school through Kagera village to Luiche and beyond is clearly
seen and improved by big historic Mango trees on both sides.

Brève description
The term ‘Eastern Arc’ was introduced in 1985 to describe the forest-capped ancient crystalline mountains of eastern
Tanzania and south-east Kenya, which are under the influence of the Indian Ocean climatic regime, and therefore
contain predictable local climates (Lovett 1985). The area has been identified in all the major analyses of global
biological priority. Starting in the 1970s, the ‘Eastern Arc Mountains’ were identified as a component of the
Afromontane archipelago-like regional centre of endemism by White (1983). The Eastern Arc Mountains are also a
Global 200 Ecoregion of WWF (Olson and Dinerstein 1998), part of a biodiversity hotspot of Conservation
International (Mittermeier et al., 1998; 2004) and an Endemic Bird Area of BirdLife International (ICBP 1992;
Stattersfield et al., 1998). It is also one of the regions of the world facing the most urgent threat in terms of potential
species extinctions (Brooks et al., 2002; Ricketts et al., 2005). These studies all indicate the extreme biological
importance of the area in global terms. The Eastern Arc is mentioned in the WCMC review of the coverage of World
Heritage Sites as an ecoregion where there is no current World Heritage property (Magin and Chape, 2004). Thirteen
separate mountain blocks comprise the Eastern Arc. These are found in 14 Districts within 5 Regions of Tanzania
(see map). Most of the remaining natural habitat on the mountains is found within nearly 150 Government Forest
Reserves, with 107 of these managed nationally for water catchment, and where forest exploitation is not allowed.
Eastern Arc forest is also protected within the Udzungwa Mountains National Park and the Amani Nature Reserve in
the East Usambara Mountains. Outside these reserves most forest has been cleared, except in small village burial
sites, a few village Forest Reserves, and inaccessible areas. In most Eastern Arc mountains the local populations
respect the reserve boundaries (where they are clear), but forest resources are used locally for fuel and building
materials and some forests are heavily degraded. Fire is also a problem as it enters and can destroy these forests
during the dry season. The future of the biodiversity on these mountains is closely tied to management policies and
capacity of the government Forest and Beekeeping Division and Tanzania National Parks Authority (in Tanzania) and
the Forest Department in Kenya. Supporting these agencies in their mandated job is an essential conservation
investment over the longer term. Nominating the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania as a natural World Heritage Site
would do much to promote the global recognition of the Eastern Arc and consequently assist the Tanzanian
authorities in their mandated jobs.

Gombe National Park is mountainous 52 sq.km. of the western rift escarpment on lake Tanganyika. The valleys
support Guinea - Congolean forests, while the driar upper slopes are clothed with miombo (Brachystegia) woodland
of Zambezian type. These two floras mingle as semi-decidous forests on the valley - sides. this productive mosaic
provides a rich habitata for forest mammale especially primates (cereopithecus, colubus), but Gombe is chiefly known
and valued for ots chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes achwernfurthii) and the results of Dr Jane Goodall's study of them
over thirty years. Present hazards to this population include disease and the pressure of a dense local human
population now - increased by influx of refugees.
