The World-Wide Fund for Nature Tanzania Country Office is implementing the Trillion Trees Program aiming at unlocking sustainable financing for Forest Landscapes Restoration. Trillion Trees (TT) is a major initiative conceived by Restore Our Planet, a UK-based environmental foundation. A group of three international conservation organizations – the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), the World-Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-UK & Tanzania) and BirdLife International (BLI) will implement the program.
Currently, there are many major initiatives attempting to respond to world’s forest threats including the widespread deforestation and depletion of ecosystem, Trillion Trees (TT) is just one part of the very significant global effort that is needed. TT has a particular focus on enhancing the scale and effectiveness of implementation of these initiatives. The TT seeks to promote even higher levels of ambition regarding both outcomes and the mobilization of finance, and a longer-term vision. In response to the above environmental challenges, Tanzania joined other African States in 2018 and pledged to restore 5.2 million hectares of degraded and deforested land under the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), a Pan-African initiative to restore 100 million hectares of degraded and deforested land in Africa by 2030.
