Description
As the President of this place, a registered NGO in Tanzania focused on native tree domestication, I'm excited to propose a potential collaboration. We are currently establishing the Center for Native Tree
Studies of Africa, a hub for researchers to explore the potential benefits of native trees for people and biodiversity.
Dear valuable network would you set only five minutes to read this article of today? would be a reason of support for this project? we need accreditation. we need financial support. we need experts. we need volunteers.
NO TREES NO LIFE,
WE ARE DOMESTICATING NATIVE TREES FOR PEOPLE AND FOR BIODVERSITY.
We believes that healthy forests are essential partner earthling for human well-being and natural diversity, by domesticating native trees at the edge of threatened ecosystems and promoting sustainable practices creates a harmony of life for both people and nature.
This is an NGO, Registered in Tanzania and founded by Aron born in ITABA Villege of Kigoma witnessing firsthand poverty and deforestation. We are working to adress the problem of deforestation and associated impacts to people’s lives, the biodiversity loss and climate change as we choose to domesticate native trees of Africa.
We assume that every biodiversity has specific trees potential for their survival, either contributing for food or habitat, likewise native trees have potential nutrient or medicinal property even other socio-economic and environmental services to human, that’s why we plant a native tree for people and for biodiversity.
GOAL:
The goal is to improve people’s lives through climate change mitigation activities thereby restoring the biodiversity habitat in Africa by the year 2030
VISION:
To become a leading organization that sustainably empowers communities to access the high-quality natural forest resources they need thereby improving the environment, overall health of forests nature and hence people's lives.
MISSION:
To unlock the reliable and sustainable potentials of native trees and forest resources practice to the communities by ensuring involvement, conducting applied research, and facilitating successful domestication of native trees on land
WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLORE:
The project you can help in our organization, we need experts, Finances and volunteers, we will be gratiful having you.
Here's breakdown of projects we currently have.
PROJECT ONE:
We are establishing a center for Native Trees studies of Africa. to be a hub for researchers to explore the potential benefits of native trees for people and biodiversity. Featuring; A comprehensive herbarium and literature library dedicated to African native trees. A seedbank preserving diverse native tree seeds. A nursery for raising seedlings and supporting restoration projects. And a Processing unit for value-adding native tree products. The center will will bring about the existence of native trees sustainability aligning with international agreement for Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and UNFCCC compatible with SDGs number 1, 2, 13 and 15. Moreover, the center will provide an avenue for the existence of potentials in our native trees such as food and medicine. Also, the center will be a cause for climate change mitigation and biodiversity habitat restoration. Whilst making availability of information and products of native trees.
The program aims at ensuring that native trees which are rich in medicine and natural food are retained and sustained. On the other hand, if nothing is passing without noticing that these native trees are been depleted, there will be a massive loss of biodiversity which threats the ecosystem; global warming will manifest thus accelerating climate change impacts after which poverty to the community will be intensified.
PROJECT TWO:
We are establishin an arboretum of native tree plantions for studies, these plots will be situated in each particular ecosystem, where respective trees are Natives.
