Home to hunter gathers the Hadzabe, the Yaeda Valley is a Tanzanian-based wilderness under threat from human population growth, habitat erosion and farming practices. Situated between in the Lake Eyasi basin, the Yaeda Valley has been home to the Hadzabe for an estimated 10,000 years. The last of Africa’s hunter gathers, there are an estimated 400 left living much as they always have. The remaining 600 have been assimilated into incoming, surrounding cultures.

A unique culture, one without tradition of livestock or agricultural practices, the way of the Hadzabe is under threat – as is the Yaeda Valley itself. With an estimated 90% of rangelands lost, the valley’s flora and fauna are also under threat. The valley floor floods annually, attracting myriad migratory birdlife, while the top of the valley is home to a range of big game, including elephant, giraffe, lion and even wild dog.
