The focus of this study was population status and diversity of raptors and linking the twornwith land use changes in Kwakuchinja wildlife corridor. This corridor connects Manyararnand Tarangire National Parks in Northern Tanzania. The vegetation consisted of mainlyrnshort grassland, wooded grassland and riverine woodland but highly altered by humanrnactivities. Raptors are good indicators of the change of an ecosystem as their populationrnand diversity are expected to vary with the type of land-use. Road count technique wasrnused to obtain data on diversity and abundance of raptors. Tree density and ground coverrnin the area were obtained from random spaced quadrats. Seventeen species of raptorsrnwere observed in Kwakuchinja wildlife corridor. No difference was found in thernabundance of raptors in VNRMAs during the dry (p=0.9649) and wet (p=0.9175)rnseasons. There was also no difference in the abundance of raptors in Manyara Ranchrnduring the dry (p=0.8237) and wet (p=0.7683) seasons. No difference was found in thernabundance of raptors between VNRMAs and Manyara Ranch during the dry seasonrn(p=0.4778) and wet season (p=0.5872). There was no significant increase in thernabundance of raptors with increase in tree density in VNRMAs (p=0.291) and in ManyararnRanch (p=0.171). The abundance of raptors increased insignificantly with ground coverrnin VNRMAs (p=0.6615) while there was insignificant decrease in Manyara Ranchrn(p=0.416). No difference was found in the diversity of raptors between the two sites (p=rn0.2207). There was also insignificant difference in the diversity of raptors between dryrnand wet seasons in VNRMAs (p= 0.8819) as well as in Manyara Ranch (p= 0.6492). ThernRaptors utilized wooded grassland more than other habitats both in VNRMAs andrnManyara Ranch with more utilization of this habitat during the dry season. GrasshopperrnBuzzard (Butastur rufipennis) was found only in VNRMAs while Steppe Eagle (Aquilarnnipalensis) was confined in Manyara Ranch. The findings imply the current difference inrnland uses between VNRMAs and Manyara Ranch has not strongly influenced therndiversity and abundance in the area. The exclusion of fire in Manyara Ranch appears torninfluence raptors habitat utilization as evidenced by exclusion of Grasshopper Buzzardrn(Butastur rufipennis) and attraction of Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis). Long termrnstudies and involvement of different stakeholder in the conservation of raptors in the arearnare recommended.
