The Chem Chem Association’s incredible journey is paved with passion and endless hours of hard work — and, in our first-ever CCA film, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into what we do.

Elephants, along with many other animals, had abandoned the Kwakuchinja Wildlife Corridor in northern Tanzania owing to poaching and human encroachment. 'Now the corridor is bustling with activity,' says Chem Chem Association’s executive manager Clever Zulu.

“In our world, to make this work, we have to deal with the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich,” Bausch says. “I had to learn how to balance how we interacted with people just as we needed to learn how to balance resources to protect and conserve our concession.”

At Chem Chem in Tanzania, conservation has become the driving force of tourism — and the safari experience has never been better. Thanks to Chem Chem’s conservation efforts, many species have returned to the Kwakuchinja Corridor.

In a workshop organised by the Chem Chem Association, the leaders of the Burunge WMA community and the Babati council learned about the use of electrical fencing to prevent wild animals like elephants and lions from harming humans.

Community leaders within the Burunge WMA have agreed to cooperate with the Council Director's Office and the government to manage the protection of the Kwakuchinja Corridor.

Tanzanian Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) declares that as many as 41 wildlife migratory corridors in danger of being lost due to increased human activity and appeals to communities to take action to protect these areas.
