Mama Misitu campaign is a communications campaign aiming
to improve the governance of Tanzania’s forests and reduce illegal forest
harvesting, so that the people of Tanzania can increasingly benefit from
sustainably managed forests
The campaign comes in as a result of TRAFFIC report indentified that in the
Miombo and coastal forests of southern Tanzania, there was rising on international
demand for timber which was driving intense illegal harvesting. This led to a large-scale
degradation of those forests. The degradation of these and other forests in
Tanzania represents an ecological and economic loss to the communities that
rely on forest resources and the national government.
