WWF-Tanzania

The WWF – World Wild Fund for Nature – has long been an important development and conservation partner in the country. Since 1965, WWF has contributed to the protection of wildlife species including rhinos, elephants and the establishment of the Tarangire, Udzungwa Mountains, Mafia Island and Zanzibar’s Menai Bay protected areas, working with and supporting communities and Government departments throughout. The WWF Tanzania Programme Office was established in 1992, from which partnerships grew and were strengthened. In 2009 the WWF Tanzania Country Office was formed and strengthened its operation in the country through the Eastern Southern African Regional Programme Office (ESARPO) strategy, until 2015 when it developed the first country strategy, and will continue advancing conservation and sustainable natural resource use into the next five years under the Country Strategic Plan (CSP-II): 2021–2025, as described in this document.
