WHERE Tanzania
Summary
Tanzania has pledged to restore 5.2 mha of degraded land under the Bonn Challenge by 2030. Tanzania has a 1755 native tree species (NTS), but progress to integrate them into planting has been slow due to lack of knowledge and capacity related to NTS restoration. This project will (i) prioritise over-exploited (i.e. useful) threatened NTS; (ii) assess capacity and constraints affecting NTS seed/seedlings availability for restoration, and; (iii) address policy and practical barriers to NTS availability for restoration
