About Us
About ECI
Global natural resources have undergone long-term depletion due to pressures from expanding anthropogenic activities, including urbanization, expanding farms, and many others that are non-eco-friendly. Tanzania is not exceptional as most urban and rural areas are undergoing massive natural resource deprivation from similar agents.
Environmental Conservation Initiative (ECI) Tanzania is an organization established by environmentalists to support government efforts targeted to address natural resource deprivation in urban areas and marginalized rural places. The goal is to promote community-driven natural resource governance, management, and restoration for improved livelihoods, mitigate climate change impact, and restore deforested land.
We foresee a country where the marginalized and poor can realize better livelihoods through investment in conservation efforts with rewards. For instance, the promotion of apiculture in rural places and urban tree nurseries/planting serve as low-cost sources of employment for youth, women, and other marginalized as it requires minimal physical efforts and routine work to make it function. On the other hand, the weather conditions in most urban centers are becoming worse because of a lack of sufficient tree cover to supply fresh air and shade for inhabitants and passersby, urban tree planting programs enable urban authorities and inhabitants to change this trajectory by enhancing these efforts to make this world a better place to live.
