Where We Work:
Tanzania
Overgrazing by livestock, shifting cultivation, human-wildlife conflict (HWC), and poaching are some of the most serious threats to wildlife and habitat in Tanzania. We operate at the local and national levels to help Tanzanians safeguard biodiversity and implement solutions that offer wins for nature and people.
Our work in three critical landscapes is multi-faceted, reflecting the diversity of challenges and opportunities at hand. Activities include:
- HWC interventions that protect crops, prevent retaliatory attacks on wildlife, and save lives
- Support for restoration and conservation of habitats
- Counter-wildlife-trafficking efforts, including support for cross-border collaboration to fight poaching
- Support for environmental monitoring through training and provisions in state-of-the-art technology
- Sustainable agriculture solutions that make economies work for nature
- Livestock extension services that help integrate Manyara Ranch—a critical wildlife corridor and giraffe breeding ground—into the life of the community
