Forests in Mbinga like in the rest of the country have been and are being threatened by uncontrolled degradation and conversion to other types of land uses. This is influenced by increased human needs' agricultural expansion, environmentally harmful mismanagements including for example, bush fires, lack of anti poaching measures and unsustainable commercial logging. The project's primary objective is to initiate a tree-planting programme as one of land rehabilitation measures and promote awareness on good land husbandry for sustainable community livelihoods in Mbinga district.
