  • Chumbe ist eine in privatem Besitz befindliche Insel vor Sansibar, die vor allem für ihre ökologische Wirtschaft und Korallenriffe bekannt ist. Das nur 0,25 km² große Eiland liegt etwa sieben Kilometer von Unguja entfernt. Die Insel war militärisches Sperrgebiet, so konnte sich ihre ursprüngliche Fauna und Flora erhalten. 1994 wurde die Insel und das umgebende Korallenriff zum Nationalpark erklärt und wird seitdem von Chumbe Island Coral Park, Ltd. (CHICOP) verwaltet. Diese Non-Profit Organisation fördert die Meeresforschung und einen begrenzten Ökotourismus auf Chumbe. Die CHICOP konnte im Jahr 2000 einen Global 500 Award für ihr vorbildliches, nachhaltiges Parkmanagement gewinnen. Im Riff vor Chumbe finden sich über 200 verschiedene Steinkorallenarten. (de)
  • Chumbe Island is a small privately owned island a few kilometres off the main island of Zanzibar, known for its ecological innovation and exceptional coral reefs. In 1992 the fringing reef west of Chumbe Island was officially closed to fishing, boating, and diving. In 1994, the island and its surrounding waters were declared the Chumbe Island Coral Park, which contains the Chumbe Reef Sanctuary and the Closed Forest Reserve. The park is run by the nonprofit private organization Chumbe Island Coral Park, Ltd. (CHICOP), which conducts marine research and small amounts of eco-tourism on the island. After the government of Tanzania established the protected area around the island and the fringing coral reef in 1994, the government gave the management rights to CHICOP, which is in charge of the CHICOP management plant. The Chumbe Reef Sanctuary is registered as a marine protected area by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, and the first marine park in Tanzania The high quality of the reef is attributable to the fact that the island was within a military zone which limited human impact on the marine life. The island has two historic buildings, a small mosque and a lighthouse, both built around the beginning of the 20th century. Chumbe Island Coral Park Ltd (CHICOP) is a private nature reserve that was developed from 1991 for the conservation and sustainable management of uninhabited Chumbe Island off Zanzibar, one of the last pristine coral islands in the region. The park includes a fully protected coral reef sanctuary and forest reserve that harbour extremely rare and endangered animals, a Visitor and Education centre, a small eco-lodge, nature trails and historical ruins. All buildings and operations are based on state-of-the-art eco-technology aiming at zero impact on the environment (rainwater catchment, photovoltaic energy and solar water heating, composting toilets, vegetative greywater filtration etc.). The company objectives are non-commercial, while operations follow commercial principles. The overall aim of CHICOP is to create a model of financially and ecologically sustainable Park management, where ecotourism supports conservation, research and comprehensive Environmental Education programs for local schools and other benefits for local people. CHICOP has won several awards relating to its environmental and sustainable development work, most notably the UN 500 Roll of Honour: * United Nations Environment Programme Global 500 (2000) One of the main settings in Giles Foden's 2002 novel Zanzibar, the island of Lyly, appears to be based on Chumbe Island. As depicted by the author, Lyly Island has a lighthouse and a mosque. (en)
