    Abstract Since 2018’s presidential declaration of Dodoma to be one among cities in Tanzania, remarkable changes on land use/land cover (LULC) have been experienced over the area as results of population increase and related impacts of urban developments. To achieve the so-called sustainable development accurate information on the LULC changes becomes essential as it brings awareness of the past changes, current trends and expected future urban dynamics. This study took technological advantage of remote sensing and Geographical Information System to analyze LULC changes from 2005 to 2020 and uses it as a major input for the Cellular automata–Markov model to simulate future changes for the years 2025 and 2030. The past LULC changes was analyzed through maximum likelihood classification algorithm and the overall classification accuracy was above 85%, while the simulated model was validated by comparing actual and simulated maps with kappa indices. The results show that from 2005 to 2020, built-up area has increased from 86.17 to 617.02 km², and water has increased from 5.47 to 10.14 km². The tremendous decrease is in bare land by 511 km² (from 1528.51 to 1017.09 km²) and vegetation by 24 km² (from 1151.11 to 1127.01 km²). Also, the simulated model results show that in the next 10 years from 2020 to 2030, bare land will decrease by 26.97%, while built-up area will increase by 39.96%, also vegetation and water will have substantial increase of 27.57 km² and 0.22 km² respectively. Therefore, these observed changes can be used as a future planning benchmark by planning organizations to ensure that sustainable development is attained.

    Abstract Our commentary explores three critical issues related to ecosystem services. First is how ecoservices are currently designed and implemented primarily for human benefit without concern for how these impact other species. We conclude that awareness of this imbalance is the first step toward meaningful change. Second we observe that human exceptionalism guides most decisions, and ask whether we can overcome this mind-set to embrace ecoregeneration and design of resilient and mutually beneficial agroecosystems. Our attitude toward the challenge and moving toward greater humility about human roles that guide management decisions in the ecosystem is a requisite for change. Third we conclude that a broad focus on One Health could be employed in designing more resilient and reciprocal agroecosystems and guiding our actions toward creating future systems that will meet the needs of humans and other species in the ecosystem. Changes in our awareness of beneficiaries that embrace a more inclusive outlook, in our attitudes toward other species, and in our responsible actions that will enhance an entire host of biological players in the agroecosystem will be essential for mutual survival.
