A Case for System Change to Deal with Population Increase

Since the 1970s, the areas for settlement at Kinondoni, Dar es salaam, were full and no more areas were there for starting new habitats.

Community Managed Natural Regeneration

CMNR is a low-cost, rapid and easily replicated approach to restoring and improving degraded lands. It is based on the systematic regrowth of existing trees or self-sworn seeds. It is managed and practised by a pastoralist community who have no knowledge of farming or agricultural practices. And is done on deforested areas and on lands that don't have fertile soil, a land that is majorly colonised with sand soil. It focuses on how a simple act of thinning and pruning can release the untapped energy of underground roots. It has increased the supply of a range of products like fodder and firewood and also has improved the communities livelihood by adopting other sources of income.
