Healthy forests are havens for biodiversity, provide a lifeline for billions of rural people worldwide, and play a vital role in mitigating global climate change. The value of our work to conserve these important habitats has now been recognised internationally. Singled out among more than 130 applicants, MCDI's CEO - Makala Jasper, was presented an award for International Nature Conservation by the Whitley Fund for Nature at their annual ceremony in London yesterday.

" Winning this award means a lot to us. It means MCDI can expand our work to an entirely new area - the first step to connect existing community forests and their wildlife with one of Africa's largest protected areas" - Makala Jasper

UTANGULIZI:

Ufugaji wa asili

Ufugaji wa asili ni mfumo wa maisha unaohusisha matumizi ya ardhi ambapo wafugaji wanahama kwa mpangilio kutoka eneo moja hadi jingine kwa sababu maalum zikiwemo utafutaji wa malisho, maji na huduma zingine za mifugo baadaye kurudi kwenye maeneo ya awali kwa vipindi maalum.
