Traditional Ecosystems Survival Tanzania (TEST) facilitates effective collaborations to reduce conflict, improve natural resource management, and enhance the sustainable well-being of indigenous peoples and wildlife in the natural ecosystems in Tanzania.
TEST strongly believes in poverty reduction as a solution to addressing conservation challenges.
Despite their global importance, Tanzania’s landscapes face significant challenges and threats such as biodiversity loss, climate change, population growth, environmental mismanagement, and commercial agricultural expansion.
TEST works to improve Tanzania’s landscapes by collaboratively engaging with all stakeholders to develop locally led solutions to these challenges. TEST focuses on landscape improvements that also support the economic and cultural wellbeing of indigenous communities living in these landscapes.
TEST aims to combine indigenous practices with scientific solutions in the management of cultural and natural ecosystems. This is achieved through our collaborative partnerships with Tanzanian and international academic institutions and NGOs.
TEST is expanding its network of collaborative partners. If you’re interested in partnering with TEST to support our work, please contact us.
TEST is safeguarding and sharing Maasai indigenous knowledge through this documentary on indigenous knowledge and cultural values that enhance sustainable natural resources management.
