There’s over 20,000 animals in Tanzania's Serengeti.On 1/20/2011 Malcolm Reyn and Liwien Appels came to talk to the fourth grade at IST and they told us about wild life and tourism.

Safaris are very important in Tanzania it brings money and tourist to Tanzania . Some of the places to go on safari in Tanzania are Serengeti, Gombe, Katavi, Mikumi, Ngorogoro crater, Selous and many more . A safari is when you hire

a guide to drive you around a car and drive you around a game park and tell you about wildlife . One of the big problems in Tanzania is hunting . Theres nothing around the game parks to stop the animals from going out it can be good but when they get out hunters can kill them . Another problem is that the government allows hunting and they can hunt everywhere exempt game parks and cites . One of the other problems is the paved

road going straight through Serengeti . Malcolm Ryen said”IT’s just a dirt road now but theres a lot of argument about it”.

There is over 500,000 wilder beast in Serengeti .Only male elephants are in ngorogoro crater . there is 100 different species of dung beetle . theres over 200,000 gazelle in Serengeti . Serengeti is one of the 7 world wonders .Selous is the biggest game park in the world.

This is the million year old coelacananth caught in tanzania.

FISHING and how it is a problem.

People in Tanzania catch almost

every fish so it becoming a problem the

people eat almost ever fish and are over

fishing. Some people come to catch big

game fish. Some of the best places catch

big game is, Dar Es Salaam and Pangani.

You can also gob to zanzibar and Pemba.

People in Tanzania fish with nets, fishing

rods and dynamite. Dynamite is a big

problem because it destroys 2 or 3 meters

of coral and lots of fish die and 80% of the

fish that are dynamited float to the bottom

too quickly to be collected. People fish in Tanzania for food and sport. Most Tanzanians fish in the sea. There were lots

of fish but now over fishing has caught so

much that little remain.

Tanzanians do most of the fishing and

a few tourists do sport fishing. There are

not allot of fisheries but the government

owns most of them. many Tanzanians

living on the coast are involved in fishing

and allot of fish are eaten. There are allot of

problems with dynamite and

commercial fishing.

WILDLIFE EXTREMEFebuary 1st 2011

By Dominatha

Did you know that there are no giraffes or female

elephants in the Ngorongoro crater or that there is such

thing as an underwater safari? We learned all this when

Lidwien Appels came on the 20th January in Miss Ruth’s

grade four classroom and talked about wildlife and natural

tourism.We had her to come to IST so the grade 4

students could learn more about Tanzania.

Wildlife is important to T

anzania because it attracts tourists from other

countries and makes money for Tanzania.Including natural

tourism there is also gemstones and cultural

tourism.Tourists biggest attraction is the Ngorongoro crater

for it is more than 1,000 meters wide!During safaris you

can see many different animals.In Tanzania.In Tanzania you

can also see wildebeest and huge african elephants. The

best places to go on safari in Tanzania is The Selous Game

Reserve and Ngorongoro Crater.

The biggest talk nowadays is the highway they want to

build in the Serengeti.The highway may be a big problem

for the animals especially for the wildebeest since they go

through the Serengeti to go to Kenya and back because

that is heir migration route.Since wildlife is becoming more

popular animals are getting endangered!Because of this

Tanzania may not get enough money for its country and

people wont have much food.Most of this is happening

because people do illegal poaching.

Lidwien says’‘There are more then 50 game reserves in

Tanzania as Tanzania is the only country in the world that

produces more than 25% of its country to have wildlife!”.

ALL ABOUT WILDLIFE AND TOURISM AT ITS FINEST!

By Dominique Ernst

Did you know that there are no female elephants in

Ngorongoro Crater which is in Tanzania? On the 20th of

January 2011 an expert called Liedwin Appel and some

grade 4 students had gathered at IST in Miss Ruth’s

classroom. They started talking about Wildlife in Tanzania

so that grade 4 students could learn more about wildlife.

The grade 4 learned what natural resources are important

for safari.

When people go on safari they have to pay money to

go in to the National Parks. Like Selous Game Reserve,

Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Mkumi.

So Tanzania gets quite a lot of money from tourism

especially from safari. There are some people that pay to

take a picture of the Masai. When you go on safari you

need a guide,most of the guides are from tanzania and

they are taught all the stuff about animals in a special

school. People that have already seen some of the

National Parks tell their friends about the National Parks

and that brings a lot of tourists and because of that

Tanzania gets a lot of money.

When tourists go on safari they take pictures of the

animals, and when they take pictures they’re disturbing

the animals because of the flash that it makes. In the

Serengeti National Park they’re thinking of building a road.

But if they build a road, when people are driving they

could run over an animal and make it extinct.

In Tanzania they allow people to hunt animals. The

reason is that Tanzania’s government thinks they aren’t

getting enough money from tourists coming to see the

animals so they allow hunting to get more money. And

since all National Parks are very well protected that no one

is allowed to hunt in National Parks.

There are also other types of tourism like cultural and

historical tourism. Liedwin Appel said, “ To the tourists,

Tanzania also offers interesting culture and Arts.”

Gemstone comes to Grade 4 in IST By Renato Soverina

Did you know alexandrite is the rarest gemstone? Or how to notice a fake gemstone? Grade 4 knows! In 20th january 2011 Grade 4 got a visit from expert Ryan scholtz and 4th grade got a lot of information from him which inspired the students of IST. Grade 4 happily become experts at gemstones in tanzania finding out importance and hazards in mining.

Tanzanite can be found in kilimanjaro so you can find mines there! And sometimes you can find them in rivers or dig a few inches. Gems found in a mine don’t look good, but after being polished and carved, they're worth a fortune. As you see gems makes money for tanzania and earn jobs for tanzanians.

The government owns some of the mines.But miners don’t earn a lot of money for the job they are doing. Mining can also be dangerous such as rocks falling or heavy rain drowning them and maybe not enough fresh air ( can include the being trapped bit.) When we mine on mountains we destroy them and on

landscape we ruin it plus people can fall in and (yes you guessed it) DIE. Ryan scholtz says” I’d hate to be a miners of the risks and low paying plus the dynamite’’ ( it's true.) People sometimes sell illegally the gems to buy guns and ammo for War!

We can measure gemstone with a special laser gun ( not the type that slices people) that measures what’s inside the stone. sapphires can come in 67 different colors including white, black, and clear. it has nothing special so people don’t have war for it. It just looks good Ryan has some gemstone and it’s a lifetime work.

CULTURAL TOURISM IN TANZANIA

GRADE 4’S LEARN ABOUT HISTORICAL/CULTURAL TOURISMBY Hasita Lakhani

Did you know there are interesting historical and cultural sites in Tanzania? Mejah is a guide in Afriroots and an expert at cultural sites. Mejah talked about Historical/cultural tourism. This took place at i.S.T.in the grade 4 classrooms. It happened on the 20th January 2011. this happened so the grade4s could have more information about historical/cultural tourism.

Historical/cultural tourism is when people come to see historical sites or come to learn about other cultures. According to Utalii Travel and Safari a company that runs tours of Tanzania “contributes to conservation efforts and to well being of communities”. Historical/cultural tourism can help Tanzania because the tourists pay their guide, so the guide goes home buys food for the family and the guide can pay or send his/her children to school.Guides go and show the tourists around places You can find historical sites in Zanzibar,

Bagamoyo and so many other places in Tanzania.There are so many different cultures in Tanzania , some of them are Masai and Kuryan.

Some of the owners of guiding companies are from different countries so all the money they make gets sent to their home country.Some tourists don't follow the culture they go to.The future cultural tourism will be more popular because before no one knew about Tanzania.

In Tanzania there are two tourists. One is domestic tourists and the other is foreign tourists. Most tribes in Tanzania speak Kiswahili. When tourists go to cultures they taste new things and if they like it ,they keep on buying it. That helps Tanzania a lot. Most Kiswahili houses have 6 bedrooms. When tourists come to Tanzania they go to cultures they wear different clothes and the owner of that culture does not like it.

Do you want to know more about the beautiful

wildlife in Tanzania? Yesterday Malcolm Ryen talked about wildlife in Tanzania.It happened in I.S.T room 53.Malcolm said that “wildlife in Tanzania is important so we need to protect it.

Do you want to know the top 4 national parks in Tanzania? They’re 1.Ngorongoro Crater 2. Serengeti 3. Tarangive national park 4. Selous game reserve. A safari is important because it attracts tourists from all over the world. Tour guides earn money so do the lodges and restaurants. Taking a safari helps you know more about animals and you don’t have to hunt. The uncommon animals that you see are Rhino’s,Wild dogs and Zanzibar’s red Colobus.

But some people might hunt the animals because they need the meat or as a souvenir. People normally hunt Buffalo because the have allot of meat or a big head to put on their wall. Taking a safari also pollutes the air which the breath in. Safari’s get more and more popular every day.

Did you know they’re only male Elephants in the Ngorongoro crater? People are building a highway in the middle of Serengeti but some people are talking about a dirt road.

GRADE 4 LEARNS ABOUT CULTURAL TOURISM!!!!!!

By: Leila O’sullivan Have you ever been to Bagamoyo to see the amazing sites,if you didn't pack your bags and get a ticket! Yesterday morning Meja came to talk to grade4 about cultural tourism in I.S.T in Tanzania.

In Bagamoyo you can see the historical sites , like the museum and the grave-yard where a mother and her children were buried around her. you can also buy jewelry sold in Bagamoyo and if your really interested in what i said you can go on a tour being shown by a guide. Bagamoyo

means Throw down your heart because long time ago they used to be slaves and they died while being forced to do work and if they don't want to do the work they would be whipped and eventually the slaves would die then be buried.

When you go on a walking tour and you see poor children. people give them money to go buy something and that is bad , because that courages them to go on begging on the street and it is very dangerous for children to go walking on the street by them selfs. Another

issues is that people go on a walking tour and they eat something with a wrapping paper and they trow it around and that going to destroy the environment around their house.

In Zanzibar they are many muslims and they usually wear covered clothes wherever they go but , when some muslims go on a tour they dress un covered and it is bad because other people who see them might copy them and their mom or dad might also get mad for not following their religion.

WILDLIFE AT ITS BESTBy Olivia Killian Green

Did you know that the Red Colobus Monkey is only found in

Zanzibar, a small island of the coast of Tanzania? Yesterday the

20th of January 2011, in Grade 4 room 53 at IST, Malcolm Ryen

and Liedwen Appels came to talk to us grade 4 students about

wildlife and natural tourism in Tanzania so we could have more

information.

When you go on a safari in Tanzania you can go to some very

famous parks like Ngorongoro crator and Serengeti national park.

Your guide is the person who drives the safari vehicle and shows

you all the animals. On a safari you can see many animals but the

most common animals you can see are Impalas, Giraffes, Zebras

and Baboons. There are many different kinds of safaris. Car

safaris, boat safaris, hot air balloon safaris and underwater safaris.

For some national parks, you are able to fly to them but for some

you have to drive to them. In Tanzania there is more than only

safaris. There is also Mt.Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. Many people

come to climb these mountains. Liedwen Appels said, “Other

additional attractions include the sandy beaches north and south

of Dar es Salaam.”

Tanzania makes a lot of money out of wildlife and safaris and

it is a big tourist attraction. It gives many local Tanzanians jobs

and training. The money that the government gets is used for

good things like building schools and offices. The government is

thinking about taring the dirt road that goes through the Serengeti

national park but many people are protesting because it will affect

the Wildebeests migration. Tanzania has two types of safaris.

Hunting safaris and photo safaris. Most people hunt Buffalos.

Most foreigners hunt them because of big skulls that people hang

on their walls. Locals hunt them because of their meat that they

some times eat.

In Tanzania the Ngongoro creator has no female elephants

and no Giraffes. Giraffes can’t get in the creator because the

creator is surrounded by many small hills and mountains. Tanzania

is a very interesting country with lots to do and see and you can

see these things if you come to Tanzania.

GEMSTONESBy:Ronick somaiya

Did you know if you light a gemstone it changes

color from black to red. Ryan Scholtz showed us. He

knew a lot about gemstones. He was an expert on

gemstones. It started at 8:05 to 9:30 on January 21. It

happened at IST.

Gemstones are very important to people because if

you sell it you can get a lot of money. And people just

have the money they never use it because they don’t

know what to spend it on. Tanzanite is the second

strongest gemstone. The color you can find for it is blue.

Gemstones are commonly found in Tanga,Tabora,

Moshi, Shinyanga. Also in Volcanoes you can find it

under the crust.If you go under the river and you can

find some gemstone.

The issues related to gemstones is that landscapes,

plants, wildlife animal, houses get destroyed. Also

people rob other mines. mining gemstones also destroys

our environment. In 1998 more than 1000 people died

after rain flooded the mines.

Our expert told us ``that you can find gemstones at

a lot of places like some of them he found at mine and

he bought some gems like one of them were Rubies and

he said that diamond is the strongest gemstone. There

was a guy called Ali Juuyawatu found a piece of a

gemstone in July of 1996.

cultural tourism!

BY SAHAR AL HILAL

Have you ever been on a historical tour in

Tanzania ? If you haven't pack your bags and get

a ticket and then head straight to the airport .You

can even go to a Masaai village and then look at

how they live and see the difference between your

life and theirs. on the 20th of January a man

called Majah came and talked to the grade 4 in

IST about historical tourism in Tanzania and other

issues related to cultural tourism in Tanzania .

Tourists come to Tanzania because most of the

time they just go on Safari 1 week beaching 1

week and maybe cultural tourism 1 or 3 days. But

no one knows that if you go on a tour you can

buy things on the way and learn about the history

and why Tanzania is like that , for example has

peace and harmony.

When you go on a walking tour and you see

poor people while you are walking . Maybe they

have an injury if you give them candy or money

they will never get of the street .They will just

stay their for the rest of their life till they die. Even

when they grow up they will still be begging on the

street day after day .This happens in most places

like Zanzibar , Bagamoyo , Kilwi , Mafia and

Tanga.

In Zanzibar they are many muslims and they

wear clothes that are very religious clothes so lets

say you go on a tour and and maybe you didn't

wear clothes that are covered and those people

go to the the market and look for the same thing

and maybe they found what you were wearing and

they go on the street and get a lot of sins!!

Did you know that Selous National Park in Tanzania is the biggest game reserve in the world? On thursday 20th of January 2011 Malcolm Ryen and Lidwien Appels came to I.S.T’s grade4 students to teach them about wildlife and game reserves.The biggest issue about wildlife in Tanzania is the road in the Serengeti’s. According to Malcolm Ryen and Lidwien Appels they are making a dirt road.

Do you know what the five most popular parks in Tanzania are? I’m about to tell you. At number1 it it the Ngorongoro Crater, coming in at a close

second is the Serengeti National Park, in third is Tarangire National Park, in fourth it’s Lake Manyara National Park and finally fifth is Selous Game Reserve. Two years ago these National Parks and Game Reserves attracted a massive 714,367 tourists. One of the major where what are the three most uncommon animals in Tanzania? that left the experts puzzled until Malcolm Ryen finally said, “The first one is the rhino wild dog the second one is the Zanzibar Red Kolobus monkey and the third adus striker.”

Even though wildlife is big in Tanzania it has some issues,wildlife in Tanzania has taken a massive drop of population because 2008 had 770,376 people and 2009 got 714,367 people and if that keeps on happening there might not be a future for wildlife in Tanzania. With all the cars passing by the animals causes pollution and slowly kills the animals.

According to Lidwien Appels Tanzania has more than 100,000 animals and has 98 places to see animals.

DID you know that there are over 67 different colors in a sapphire , and it is one of the worlds hardest gems? Well that is what Ryan Scholtz talked about to the fourth grade students at IST when he visited on the 20th of January! He also talked about other information so that the fourth graders could understand more about gemstones.

Gems can be made into all shapes and sizes! Ryan told us that they put rough gemstones into a polisher that make them all shiny and smooth. Ryan also told us that there are many places where gemstones can be found in Tanzania. Tanzanite is only found near MT.Kilimanjaro, but miners have just found 2 more pieces of

When Ryan came he talked about the issues related to mining, for example he said, “There is more Tanzanite sold in Kenya than in Tanzania because it is being smuggled in!” Mining effects the land as well because houses have to be taken down for them to mine

underneath. Mining can be very dangerous and many lives are risked every day. You can only mine if you are given permission from the government. Villagers might be affected by mining because miners might get permission to mine underneath the village from the government. So the villagers will have no home. It can effect jewelry shops

because they will get more gems and get more

money.

Ryan brought with him some Tanzanite that

he had collected over the years. He brought a

machine too that tells you what is in a

gemstone when you hold it up to the machine!

He also brought a parcel that had lot’s of rocks

in it but they weren't a normal rock, they had

copper in them!

Gemstones Newsletter

On Thursday 21st of January in IST in a geologist came to Ms. Lawson’s room. He came because of our unit Karibuni Tanzania. He told us why gemstones are important and how mining also gives a lot of issues.

Gemstones are important because some people get money from this and you use money for a lot of things like food and school. Tanzanite is special because you can only find them in Tanzania. They are two colors light blue and dark blue they both look beautiful but just look a little different. They are found in Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro . They use a machine to polish and cut it. Gemstones are mined by digging or exploding it from under ground . After they are mined they look like powder so they have to go and extract the gemstones to make it into a stone.

In Tanzania business men and miners mine Tanzania. Business men usually own mines to get a lot of money. The issues of mining is families have to get moved because they may be gemstones under their house so they have to use their life

savings to get another house because the house which they had is blown up and there is a big hole instead of a house. So they have to buy the house now they can’t wait anymore. Another issue is that sometimes the person who is pumping oxygen in the mine gets interested like if they find a big gem so he leaves the pump and there will be no oxygen in the mine so they die. Also another problem is gunned robbery were they force the miners to give them the gems.

The geologist showed us some gemstones he found or bought it at shops in different countries everywhere .He let us take gemstones with copper on it the copper was light blue . He had a collection of gemstones . He told us their machines is a machine that cuts and polishes gemstones so they look exactly like the ones at the stores. Ryan told us

“if you light a gemstone it changes color from

black to red.” He showed us with a torch. The

gem is called the Alexanderite.

because they can make houses out of cow poo.

say, “I want to go to safari and to the beach.”

so now do you know that their is not much

CULTURAL TOURISM AND HISTORICAL SITES IN TANZANIA.By Zameena Rajabali

Did you know that in Tanzania, there are interesting, fascinating and spontaneous historical/cultural sites? Mejah the expert of tourism and some of the 4th Grade children were involved in cultural tourism. We talked about historical and cultural tourism in Tanzania. This took place at IST in one of the Grade 4 rooms. It happened on the 20th January 2011. This incident happened because we wanted to learn more information on historical and cultural tourism in Tanzania.

Cultural tourism is when people from a country go to another to learn about their

culture and how they live. Last year 1.8 million tourists came to Tanzania to explore new things. Many tourists come to Tanzania because of the Mountains, the animals and the safaris.However other people come to Tanzania to learn the history of Tanzania. You can go to Bagamoyo and Zanzibar to see cultural tourism in Tanzania. In Tanzania, there are many kinds of cultural and historical tourism like the Masai Village and a lot of other things.

Tourism in Tanzania is becoming more popular because a lot of people are coming to Tanzania to find out new things. Tourists keeps part of the old

sites safe like the PYRAMID OF EGYPT and others too. If you wanted to go on a tour and there were no tourist guides, you can’t go on a tour. The government encourages people to go on cultural tours. The governments of Tanzania said, “Sense the culture and history of the Swahili people of Coastal Tanzania.”

Going on a tour is like going on a field trip. If you want to see cultural tourism in any country, some of the things you can find out are: where they live and what they eat.

I would like you to go on a tour in Tanzania.

Go to Africa to see Cultural Tourism.
