    Students posing for a picture in Tanzania

    What you can expect:

    What does environmental justice look like in a nation that includes 60 million people as well as the prides of lions and herds of wildebeest that East Africa is famous for? This is an important theme for the Tanzania SST unit. Students will have many opportunities to witness the interplay between people and natural areas in this East African country where 38% of the land is protected. During a visit to the Serengeti National Park, students not only view wildlife; they also meet the park’s human neighbors and learn about community conservation efforts that take the needs of both humans and wildlife into consideration.
