This is among the ethical principles of scientific and cultural best practices for land and forest restoration: & and ongoing relationships. At a minimum, Free Prior and Informed Consent is observed and local communities are ongoing partners in projects affecting the territory. Meaning they are fully informed, have the right to say no, choose to participate, and stay involved throughout. Upholding this principle means going further. It means listening to and respecting local and indigenous views and ways of knowing. It values local communities as knowledgeable guardians of the land and, by using community-led processes, creates avenues for local knowledge and expertise to transform how organisations work, organise and interact with wider systems.

TREES AND BIODIVERSITY

Friends of Usambara’s model is to have as light a touch as possible in the creation of a project, stepping in only when we think there’s a real need to do so or if asked. We don’t want anyone thinking that the trees belong to FoU – instead, we want local people to feel ownership and engagement with these trees.
The benefits of this are many. Firstly, it empowers local people to have a say over how their local green spaces are managed. Secondly, it introduces people to the topic of trees and tree planting, many of whom won’t have engaged with it before. And thirdly, it means there’s a fully-engaged volunteer force ready to look after the trees in their first few years. We value your contribution via this Platform, Please empower us by planting more trees with us at [email protected]
