Why Restoration of Degraded Landscapes?


    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 ha 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,
