NTRI is a group of development and conservation organisations that have been working across the northern Tanzania landscapes for many years. We recognise that working together and collaboratively yields better results.

To achieve our vision we’re building on each others diverse skills and strengths

Our Approach

We believe that we can keep movement areas open and
rebuild this landscape through the following approaches:

LAND AND RESOURCE RIGHTS

Securing communal rights to land
and natural resources.

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Strengthening governance at village and community levels and improving natural resource management capacity.

INCENTIVES

Increasing benefits to encourage communities to protect their natural resources

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

Improving reproductive and sexual health.

LIVESTOCK

Ensuring livestock production is profitable and sustainable.

CLIMATE RESILIENCE

Building climate resilient communities and development.

BY 2018 WE AIM TO:

Important grazing and migratory routes that connect major ecosystems in the northern rangelands are more secure, with at least 10 villages having obtained legal rights to their land, and a minimum of 500,000 hectares of land designated as integrated livestock and wildlife grazing land;
Benefits from natural resources are increasingly retained in communities, with at least 10 villages earning a minimum of USD $ 20,000 per year through sustainable enterprises; and,
The economic and environmental resilience of the people and the landscape has improved, with local livelihoods enhanced and key wildlife populations (elephant, wildebeest, zebra and lion) stable.
