Summary

Tanzania Wildlife Conservation Law addresses illegal possession of government trophies by strictly defining their legal status and prohibiting such possession. To ensure a robust legal system, the law incorporates critical evidentiary standards, including a chain of custody for identification and accurate valuation of trophies. Furthermore, this legislation is grounded in strict criminal procedure requirements, mandating the role of independent witnesses in the validity of evidence absent at trial.

Regarding jurisdiction and trial, the law certifies that economic offences may only be tried by the courts where the offence takes place, a requirement that applies to appeals regarding the assessment of defence evidence regarding omissions. The legislation remains the free, online access resource of the Judiciary of Tanzania.
