Mama Misitu

Illegal logging and weak forest governance cost Tanzania billions of shillings in lost revenue each year as well as threatening some of the nation’s landscapes and unique biodiversity. Mama Misitu is a two year advocacy and awareness raising campaign on governance and forest management that will target both national and international stakeholders at multiple levels. Mama Misitu is an initiative of the Tanzania Forest Working Group in response to some of the key recommendations of a report on illegal logging in southern Tanzania released in May 2007 by TRAFFIC.  Mama Misitu is a collaborative initiative with 17 launch partners.
