Descripción del proyecto

Mlola division of the Usambara mountains, within the Tanga region, is one of the world's most endangered areas with the loss of biodiversity.

MBR (Mlola Biodiversity Restoration): is a strategic project which is planned to focus on general biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration, and fight against the causes of climate change within the Mlola division as the target area and the world at large.

This project plan started after the determination of the rapid increase in the rate of deforestation in the area which resulted from those human activities that are not friendly with nature, in this case, it caused land degradation and a starting decrease in the amount of rainfall which was approximately expected per annual.

Through tree planting, environmental education programs, local community mobilization and motivations, native tree seedlings, and ecological restoration, this project will bring back the lost biodiversity of Mlola areas as well as the Usambara mountains.

More than 60,000 trees were planted in this project already to restore areas in the region.
