Engaging Communities to Conserve Nature

 About Nature Tanzania

Nature Tanzania is an independent membership national conservation NGO in Tanzania, with its head offices located at TEMDO building, Njiro road, Arusha Tanzania. The organization is registered under the Non-Governmental Organizations Act, 2002 to operate in Tanzania mainland. It is guided by a constitution, a five year strategy 2017 – 2022 and a five year business plan. Being a membership NGO, our members are our strength.

Tanzania country is rich in biodiversity and therefore very important for conservation. The country has recorded over 1,200 species of birds. We are using birds as indicators of ecosystem health and a tool for biodiversity conservation. We are working with communities, the private sector and the government in  areas identified as Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA).
