This project addresses the restoration of soils, which have been degraded over previous decades, drying streams and habitat loss especially of high-value threatened tree species, which were overharvested in the wild. This submission nominates 3 NGOs (RUCONET, RGEEPT, and ECHO) and 8 villages collaborating to impact highly erosive, drought-prone western slopes of Mt. Meru, Arusha, Tanzania with multiple impacts, specifically, reinforcing an agroforestry effort through the promotion of threatened, high value indigenous trees of Tanzania. This benefits the catchment through: 1) conservation of soil and water; 2) increase in soil fertility & agricultural production/resilience; and, 3) increasing local biodiversity through establishing threatened indigenous trees on farms and water sources. Continued collaboration will further sustain the momentum to combat the hunger and poverty prevalent and provide benefits in the form of fodder, medicines and timber.
