Some of the herds of animals were taken to Lindi Region.<\/p>\n<p>As Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project approaches completion more measures must be instituted to protect all rivers that flow into Rufiji River.<\/p>\n<p>One of the strategies may involve carrying out a survey to identify all rivers, tributaries and streams that supply water into Rufiji River before crafting plans on how to conserve them.<\/p>\n<p>The conservation strategies must, of course, involve local government leaders who live with people at grassroots level or else nothing will be realised. Let everyone play their role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Not long ago, top national leaders led by President Samia Suluhu Hassan hyped the campaign focusing on conserving environment.
