Human-wildlife conflict is a major issue for conservationists due to crop-damage and livestock depredation by
wild animals, causing local farmer’s economic loss resulting into deepening of poverty. This study assesses
wildlife induced damage. A total of 250 households were randomly interviewed by the use of questionnaires in
three villages (Kakoye, Minjingu and Olasiti) in the Kwakuchinja wildlife corridor, northern Tanzania. Annually
loss of 383 kg of crops per household was reported in the study area, or US $ 154 per household annually. Most
destruction was done by elephants. Depredations of livestock were estimated to on average 2.2 (US $ 106)
livestock annually. This loss affects farmers economically as well as that they are spending time in guarding
livestock from predators. Cattle were mostly attacked by lions and spotted hyenas while goats and sheep were
attacked by spotted hyenas and leopards. These losses lead to retaliatory killing of carnivores. Wildlife induced
damage to crops and livestock were worsened by people encroaching into the borders of protected areas and
destroying wildlife habitats. Households close to the boundary of the Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Park
incurred greater losses from crop and livestock depredation. There should be provision of conservation educations
to communities bordering protected areas to practice sustainable agriculture and income generating projects that
are conservation friendly.
