Why it matters

Why trees matter in Tanzania.

Deforestation threatens the land, water and livelihoods of millions. Trees are the most affordable way to fight back.

Protects water

Roots keep rivers, springs and wells flowing year round.

Stops erosion

Healthy soil stays in the fields where farmers need it.

Cools the climate

Every tree is a carbon sink that pulls CO₂ from the air.

Builds income

Fruit and timber trees give rural families a lasting livelihood.
