About Us
Tanzania People & Wildlife (TPW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting wildlife, investing in people, and restoring balance to Tanzania’s vital ecosystems through effective conservation action, applied science, and collective impact. Together with communities and additional conservation actors, we focus on delivering win-win, sustainable solutions for people and nature. TPW helps rural communities develop their skills and abilities to protect natural resources in a manner that maximizes their benefits from these landscapes while also preserving ecological integrity. Emphasizing the critical importance of community-led initiatives, the organization provides information, training, and service level support to its rural constituencies to strengthen local institutions and community-driven actions for natural resource management and wildlife conservation.
TPW operates from the Noloholo Environmental Center on the Maasai Steppe in northern Tanzania. Sharing a boundary with Tarangire National Park, this center acts as TPW’s regional headquarters as well as an educational center where rural community members improve their understanding of the environment and develop hands-on skills in natural resource management. From this center, TPW operates programs in four major programmatic areas: 1) wildlife conservation and human-wildlife conflict prevention, (2) youth environmental education and adult capacity building & training, (3) natural resource conservation and rangeland management, and (4) environmentally-sustainable conservation enterprise and development.
Position Description:
TPW is looking for a passionate, energetic and highly experienced individual to work in close cooperation with TPW program teams, local government authorities, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and partner communities. The advertised position will support the coordination of all project activities in the Lake Natron area.
The applicant should have proven experience in the coordination of conservation initiatives, using both traditional and innovative methodologies. The successful candidate will also have impressive communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a multi-cultural environment with diverse stakeholders. This position will be stationed in Longido and at the Noloholo Environmental Center in Simanjiro, so she/he should be willing to work in remote areas for the majority of the time. We anticipate the position will require equal amounts of time for program and team coordination, program administration, oversight, community and local government communication, meetings, and reporting.
