When nature thrive, community thrive.

----A FUTURE ROOTED IN BALANCE

Traditional Ecosystems Survival Tanzania (TEST) brings people together to protect natural ecosystems, strengthen indigenous livelihoods, and build a future where people, livestock and wildlife can coexist in harmony

Founded and led by Indigenous people, TEST works alongside communities whose lives, cultures and livelihoods are deeply connected to Tanzania’s landscapes.

We facilitate collaboration to reduce conflict, improve natural resource management and support the sustainable wellbeing of people, livestock and wildlife. We believe that reducing poverty and strengthening local livelihoods are essential to addressing conservation challenges.

Conservation that begins with the people who know the land.
