Abstract

In this article the authors discuss the negative implications of the proposed construction of a two-lane road at the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. They note that the construction of the road will lead to the migration of wildebeest. They elaborate that the road will also boost grass fires and reduce grazing quality of minerals. They also suggest an alternative road to the southern part of the park for the good of the environment.
