Envisioning a society with sustainable and productive landscapes supporting biodiversity and livelihood of present and future generations.
To promote and engage in landscapes restoration activities in Tanzania in order to regain ecological functions of degraded landscapes and enhance human well-being.
Our survival depends on nature. To majority of rural poor in developing countries, forested landscapes are ‘biological supermarkets’ where people are assured of clean water, food, medicinal plants, and many other social, cultural, spiritual and religious benefits. In other words, loss of forest landscapes is associated with loss of biodiversity and livelihood options and materials required to support and sustain almost all development sectors globally (read Nature’s Contribution to people).
The Government of Tanzania has committed to restore 5.2 million hectares of degraded forest landscapes by 2030 as part of the afri100 initiative (https://afr100.org/country/tanzania). Genuine partnerships and wider-engagement of state and non-state actors is necessary to support restoration activities in Tanzania. To support the government ambitious goal to restore 5.2 million ha by 2030, TaLRO is strategically engaging the youth (mainly volunteers) to support restoration projects in different parts of Tanzania. Most of the volunteers are graduates in wildlife management sciences, forestry, botanical science studies, agriculture, aquaculture, sociology, community development, among other fields. Overall,
Here are some additional services we offer in conservation
awareness and restoration.
Like any other substantial Organization, TaLRO has a team of dedicated and determined individuals who work and collaborate
hand in hand with various Tanzanian communities in researching, analyzing different forestation activities and how dwellers interact
with the land to come up with best implementable procedures of land maintenance, sustainability and good use of its resources.
We realize; anthropogenic activities have increased pressure on
natural resource leading to land degradation and deforestation ultimately lowering agricultural
productivity (due to soil erosion and loss of pollinators), limited energy sources, declining water quality and
availability, increased vulnerability to disasters (e.g. floods and droughts) while women and youth becomes more vulnerable.
Due to this, The Organization has prepared and so far implemeneted various Awareness campaigns within different
places all over the country
especially very remote areas with indegenous people where little is known, providing education on biodiversity effects
degradational activities and
the dangers in the ignorance of conducting safe and accepted ways of land restoration activities.
Our primary goal is to raise awareness about environmental issues, provide educational resources, and inspire positive environmental action.
