Tanzania hydropower project a threat to heritage site
The directive by the Tanzanian Controller and Auditor-General that the government revive a $2.6 billion Stiegler Gorge hydroelectricity project may harm one of East Africa’s largest protected areas.
The project, which is to be constructed in the Selous Game Reserve — a Unesco World Heritage Site — is projected to generate 2,100MW, but conservationists warn against developing it.
