This report attempts to identify the cause and magnitude of potential environmental impacts resulting from the influx of refugees from Rwanda into north western Tanzania, and to separate this change from that already occurring under the pressure of the indigenous population. It evaluates alternative mitigation measures for these impacts, and recommendations for preferred measures. The report is based on two visits to Tanzania by a team consisting of experts in natural resources, economics and human geography; field investigations were made during September and October 1994. The study team found that continuing excessive demand upon the scanty natural resources of the region is likely to prove unsustainable and serious damage will result. (DÜI-Hff)
