Priority need addressed

  • The Covid-19 pandemic brought significant challenges to the forest conservation and management, at a scale that was previously not imagined. Revenue streams for nature reserved that relied mainly on conservation trust funds, philanthropy donations, research fees and ecotourism were severely cut throughout 2020. Rise in illegal forest harvesting and reduction in capacity of Tanzania Forest Services to institute effective law enforcement may have jeopardized the overall management capabilities of forest nature reserves. The current proposed assessment will unveil the post-covid situation of the protected areas, which are designated as forest nature reserves across the country. The results will inform the status of management effectiveness and its attribution to the negative impacts of the pandemic. This will trigger developing appropriate onsite strategies and establish policy actions that are geared towards recuperating from the pandemic and promoting post-pandemic management strategies on these protected areas.

The change the project implementation will bring for the protected area(s)
