A Collaborative Initiative between UK FCDO and Omdena
Protecting Mangroves in Tanzania’s Rufiji Delta
Together, we have developed innovative solutions to monitor and analyze deforestation in Tanzania’s mangroves, specifically in the Rufiji Delta region.
Introduction
Tanzania faces a critical issue with deforestation, contributing over 70% of its greenhouse gas emissions. This poses global and local consequences, affecting climate, biodiversity, and socio-economic factors. The Rufiji delta, with its mangrove forests, is particularly challenging to monitor due to its vastness and dense vegetation.
Our project aimed to address the critical issue of deforestation in Tanzania’s mangroves, which poses a significant threat to the delicate ecosystem and biodiversity of the Rufiji Delta. By leveraging advanced technology and data analysis techniques, we sought to provide actionable insights and support sustainable management practices.
