Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad: Tanzania: Climate Change & Sustainability, Mount Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar (Summer)

 Study climate change, its human impacts, and national and local solutions in northern and coastal Tanzania.

 

WHY STUDY ABROAD IN TANZANIA?

Tanzania’s diverse ecology provides an extraordinary backdrop in which to explore climate change. In the interior mountains, study tropical forest management and examine the climatology, ecology, and hydrology of extinct volcano areas adjacent to Kilimanjaro National Park. In Ngorongoro Conservation Area, visit the largest intact collapsed volcano in the world, and investigate how climate change affects migrating and grazing wildlife species such as zebras and wildebeests. While in Serengeti National Park, you will study the effects of climate change on the spatial distribution of wildlife, and in Zanzibar you’ll learn about coral reef conservation. Throughout your journey, you’ll also consider solutions to issues posed by climate change, meeting with farmers, foresters, fishermen, community leaders, and nongovernmental organizations. In addition to learning from SIT’s world-class faculty, you will also speak with experts through SIT’s extensive regional networks in Zanzibar, including government departments, the Institute of Marine Sciences, and the College of African Wildlife Management.
