Indigenous Green Pathways

The Indigenous Green Pathways project seeks to restore degraded rangelands and forest areas in northern Tanzania through the integration of Indigenous ecological knowledge, women’s leadership, and youth innovation. By combining traditional land management practices with sustainable restoration methods, this project will strengthen biodiversity, improve livelihoods, and advance climate resilience for Maasai communities.
