Introduction
WWF Tanzania Country Office (WWF – TCO) is implementing a five-year project funded by WWF-Switzerland (WWF-CH), which seeks to use innovative and multiple landscape restoration approaches to enhance human wellbeing and wildlife in Sustainable Forest Management in the East Usambara sub-montane-Coastal Forests.
WWF under the East Usambara Restoration project (EURP), seeks to recruit an expert to assess the status of selected forests, rivers and wildlife corridors to establish baseline data and restoration opportunities and to identify relevant and potential indigenous plant species for restoration in the selected villages in the East Usambara mountains. This information will be a benchmark to monitor wildlife populations, human-wildlife conflicts and the restoration of corridors that are still existing.
Specific objectives.
- Assess and document the status of the selected forests, rivers and wildlife corridors in the selected sites of the project area.
- Establish baseline data and restoration opportunity maps for the selected forests, rivers and wildlife corridors in the 11 villages in the East Usambara sub-montane, lowland and coastal forest sub-landscape.
- Assess and document relevant and potential indigenous plant species for restoration in selected sites of the project area.
- Assess community capacity to conserve and manage the selected forests, rivers and wildlife corridors and develop a capacity-building plan.
- Support and facilitate two capacity-building workshops for 5 CS0s, 11 village-based CBOs and private sector partners on developing assessment and monitoring plans for the key selected forests, rivers, wildlife corridors and potential indigenous plant species for restoration.
