More Environmental Assaults on the Serengeti

Can you image an airport in the Serengeti? An opinion article in The East African is reporting that Grumeti Reserves Ltd. is supporting such a project to bring more tourists to the sacred Serengeti. This concept does not sit well with me. A much more appropriate approach would be to renovate the existing Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) as well as existing road links. Keep development near the Serengeti “at bay”. Once that line is crossed the pressure and need to develop expands exponentially. Think of the support apparatus needed to sustain an airport -- hotels, restaurants, transportations depots for high-roller tourists. It becomes an expanding organism that has no boundaries. Improve KIA and its infrastructure and keep the Serengeti pristine.
