The Greater Udzungwa-Kilombero landscape
The Greater Udzungwa-Kilombero Landscape in northern Tanzania is a vital refuge for many highly threatened species, such as the African Savannah Elephant (Loxodonta africana). Although the forests are of global conservation concern, they are becoming increasingly fragmented due to land clearance for agriculture. World Land Trust’s (WLT’s) Plant a Tree programme will enable Reforest Africa to enhance connectivity in this landscape, planting 100,000 native trees to
restore 100 hectares (247 acres) of degraded land in the Magombera Nature Forest Reserve. This project will also help Reforest Africa to set up a tree nursery and restoration training hub in Kilolo, supporting the planting of a further 50,000 native trees across 50 hectares (124 acres) of land.

Reforest Africa
Reforest Africa aims to restore and protect native African forests for the benefit of both wildlife and people.
Their approach combines active forest management with hands‑on training that equips local people with the skills to protect their local environment. By planting native trees, supporting natural regeneration, and promoting the sustainable use of forest resources, Reforest Africa not only revitalises critical ecosystems but also empowers the communities who rely on them to thrive.
