Chem Chem Association presents: Guardians of the Corridor. Created in collaboration with Black Bean Productions, the film showcases the remarkable transformation of the Kwakuchinja Wildlife Corridor and the trailblazing Joint Monitoring and Protection Centre (JMPC), which will play a vital role in securing its future.
From a Lodge Manager at Chem Chem to the CEO of its philanthropic and conservation association, Clever's transition has been far more than just a career path — it was the answer to a greater calling.
When Chem Chem Association began our conservation journey over a decade and a half ago, opportunities in the Tarangire-Manyara region were scarce. And, although education can be pivotal tool in breaking the cycle of poverty—families struggling to put food on the table are not going to prioritise sending their children to school. We knew we had to change this.
A decade-and-a-half in the making, our conservation success story has seen us transform a landscape on the brink into a thriving ecosystem. At its heart is the Chem Chem Association—a dedicated team united by a shared passion for protecting nature and uplifting the communities that help preserve it.
Our success story is making waves. We’re thrilled to announce that Chem Chem has been named the 'Coolest Conservation Rock Stars' in the first-ever Global Safaris Awards™ by global safari brand UNCHARTED®.
More than just a traditional sports tournament, the Chem Chem Soccer League Cup is a celebration of community spirit and a vital platform for promotion our conservation efforts within the Kwakuchinja Corridor, Tanzania.
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.
