Tarangire gained protection in the mid-20th century to conserve migratory routes that run from dry-season floodplains to higher grazing areas used by pastoralists.
Conservation efforts focus on protecting migration corridors and working with Maasai communities to reduce grazing conflicts and habitat fragmentation.
