3 Ecosystem Restoration As part of the Accelerated Restoration Collaborative , our work is informed by decades of tested and proven project experience. To restore deforested mangrove regions with the greatest speed and efficiency, the teams gather propagules from the nearby forests and plant them in the specific tidal-zone locales that best match their unique types. Here’s how the process works!
In contrast, the forestry initiative we support at The Tuungane Project , founded by The Nature Conservancy , creates income opportunities for villagers in Tanzania through seasonal work to plant ficus seedlings, longer-term work on monitoring tree health, and business training and supplies for establishing their own tree nurseries. In fact, by fostering the creation of community- owned nurseries rather than simply employing local people in a project-owned nursery, sustainability becomes an inherent aspect of the project design and participants in the forestry program are naturally empowered to become small business owners.
