Deforestation has been quite challenging to Tanzania’s forest ecosystem. With the growing demand for energy in Tanzania, the rate of deforestation is likely to accelerate other ecological/environmental problems. Increasing population is exerting pressure upon the region, forcing the disintegration of the environment as people continue to cut trees in order to meet their fuel and construction-based needs. KIWAMA (community based group) has devised a proposal of conservation of land and water through self-initiative programs. Rustic Volunteer Travels and its partners want volunteers/travelers who are environmental enthusiasts and are committed to environment conservation and, moreover, who are willing to devote their time and wealth to ensure the program's success. Volunteers/travelers will have the unique opportunity to be a part of something that will benefit the region as well as its next generation.
All volunteer programs start on the first and third Monday of each month.
