Damas Patrcik Mbaga is based in in the rapidly changing wildlife-rich landscape of Southern Tanzania, overseeing community-led river monitoring initiatives within Kilombero’s Rufiji Basin as part of AWF’s work with the IUCN Sustainability and Inclusion Strategy for Growth Corridors in Africa (or SUSTAIN-Africa) program.
Over 600 species and countless livelihoods depend on a plan for the future of the Kilombero Catchment
Kilombero Valley, where Tanzania’s Kilombero Catchment is located, is immensely important to the nation and to the world due to its precious wetlands resources and ever-dependable rivers – enriching the soils and making the lands more fertile for agriculture. Now environmental challenges are prompting collective action.
Roadmap to Tanzania’s first miombo nature reserve
Since SUSTAIN became active in this region through SNV, we have improved water management practices in the Katuma River, established partnerships between local farmers and agricultural companies, and supported communities with land use planning practices in villages encompassing 45,000ha (roughly the size of Andorra).
Sharing good practices on sustainable land and water use with Tanzanian farmers
