dc.description	This study was conducted to find out the impact of human wildlife-conflicts on natural resources management in Saadani national park, Tanzania. The data for the study were collected from three village’s vicinity to Saadani National Park (SANAPA), namely Mkange, Saadani and Matipwili villages. The study cover 97 households survey and 13 key informants interviews including the ward and village executive officers, District officials and Saadani National Park officials. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that the participants were aware of the Human Wildlife Conflicts (HWC) which exists in Saadani National Park. Most of the HWC are associated by the increase in population, change of weather and the increase in the wildlife population in the study area. The results shows that majority of the households are not aware of the ecosystem benefits which they get from SANAPA. The existence of the HWC has impacted many, including the death and injuries of people, livestock predation; destruction of properties as well as the loss of biodiversity. The participants of the study believe that HWC in Saadani is largely due to the lack of awareness among people, boundaries disputes and also because there are no appropriate legal institutions established to educate the people and make reconciliations of the conflicts. It is concluded in this study that fencing, compensation and establishment of land right and boundaries are the chief means that could be used to overcome the HWC in SANAPA and Tanzania in general.
