Future Projects
Tanzania, 2025/2030
Njombe Reforestation 5,000 ha
Scaling up reforestation efforts to restore forest cover, improve biodiversity, and enhance climate resilience.
Why these locations?
-
The Iringa’s restoration projects are a unique collaboration involving local communities, ecological scientists, and conservationists
-
Efforts will increase biodiversity, protect water sources, and boost climate resilience
-
Sustainable livelihoods are created through nurseries, tree planting, and long-term land stewardship
-
Farmers in the area will receive training in agroforestry and regenerative farming (permaculture), helping them adopt more sustainable land-use practices while supporting reforestation efforts
