During his profession as the District Wildlife Officer for six years in the Morogoro region, Abel participated in the execution of several community-based conservation initiatives. He collaborated with several local and international organisations, as well as community-based wildlife conservation organisations, in wildlife conservation and tourism activities. Abel earned his first and second degrees in wildlife management from Sokoine University of Agriculture, a prominent public university in Morogoro, Tanzania. Abel completed his Ph.D. in environmental modelling and simulation at Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand, focusing on studying human-elephant interactions adjacent to the Serengeti National Park. He is ecstatic to engage in publishing this book on sustainable and responsible wildlife tourism. This endeavour aims to enhance understanding and adoption of sustainability and responsibility behaviours among wildlife stakeholders globally. The book is designed to be a valuable tool for practitioners working in the field, particularly for those involved in fields of tourism and wildlife conservation. It is envisioned that this book will play a significant role in promoting effective strategies for wildlife utilisation and conservation with current and future generations in our minds. This initiative underscores the existing gap in practical and theoretical applications of the sustainability concepts in wildlife tourism, emphasising the need for books that translate scientific knowledge into actionable insights. The book aims to empower travel agencies, travel companies, travel operators, destination management organisations, conservation agencies, biologists, conservationists, tourists, students and researchers by providing comprehensive and applicable information, facilitating a deeper understanding of sustainable and responsible wildlife tourism. Eventually, Abel's book aims to enhance sustainability and responsibility in wildlife tourism, ensuring that our grandsons’ grandsons can appreciate the rich and unique wildlife resources everlasting.
