Friday, November 13, 2020 - 1:15am

DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA, November 12, 2020 - The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Promoting Tanzania’s Environment, Conservation, and Tourism (PROTECT) project held a live webinar to celebrate five-years of safeguarding Tanzania’s biodiversity and tourism-driven economy.

The digital event, “Celebrating USAID PROTECT: Five Years of Conserving Tanzanian Wildlife,” highlighted successes of the project, including how it contributed to reducing poaching in the country by 80 percent, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism.

“Many of USAID PROTECT’s interventions will leave a lasting foundation for Tanzania’s conservation. The project has engaged national level membership bodies and locally based companies to leverage their influence and assets for conservation efforts. This has resulted in the preservation of more than 300,000 hectares of biologically significant areas and a considerable reduction in poaching and unregulated fishing,” said USAID Acting Mission Director, V. Kate Somvongsiri, who opened the webinar.
