**4. Conclusions**

Our review details the significance of grasslands in Tanzania. Grasslands of Tanzania are diverse, and their diversity is influenced by both climatic, soils, and topographic variations across Tanzania. They support an enormously larger number of livestock and wildlife populations.

Grasslands of Tanzania show a big potential to support people's livelihood through meat and milk production, but its contribution is declining. However, such ecosystems experience overgrazing, conversion to agricultural lands, frequent annual fires, and climate change.

Evaluation of the grasslands of Tanzania is worthwhile to establish baseline information or trends that will be used for comparison in long-term monitoring of grasslands condition. This can only be achieved if proper land use plans are put in place, especially in all rural settings and improved management systems that operate at different regimes across Tanzania.
