Cocoa is a useful agroforestry crop, which can enhance native biodiversity when planting along with native trees. From new research below, it looks like pollinators attracted by the native trees are also crucial for the cocoa - perhaps a rare win-win for agriculture and nature!

Thanks so much for the continued support @flamingolanduk. These funds help us to employ key staff for the charity, plus some of the costs that they need to manage and restore forests, and to support local communities. 🙏

Elephant-proofing our tree nursery in the Udzungwa Botanic Garden. It needs a sturdy fence!

We just finished refurbishing one of our offices as a new seed storage laboratory, thanks to funding from Fondation Franklinia. We are aiming to collect and germinate 200,000 native tree and liana seeds for restoration planting in 2024.

Third meeting of the Udzungwa-Kilombero Restoration Forum. Planning forest restoration across a 53,000 km-sq region in Tanzania, including a field visit to the new @ReforestAfr Udzungwa Botanic Garden.

[Andy Marshall @Andy_R_Marshall]

Yesterday I visited some forest that we planted with @ReforestAfr six years ago, and another site planted just 2 years ago, with most trees still hidden in the grass. So much difference over just 4 years!

[Reforest Africa @ReforestAfr]

All the best in the new position Tim!

[Tim R B Davenport @TimRBDavenport]

Chuffed beyond words and incredibly grateful to have started a new position with @rewild as ‘Africa Director’.
I will be working to develop and extend Re:wild’s work across this beautiful continent, and to help restore and protect African biodiversity, under African leadership.

✅ During Easter, using the opportunity given by the rain season, we planted trees in the Udzungwa Botanical Garden.
Thanks to @ReforestAfr, @PLinTanzania 🇵🇱 with friends had a chance to join the efforts of reforesting the Kilombero Valley in Central 🇹🇿.

[Reforest Africa @ReforestAfr]

Our tree-planting continues in Tanzania. This month we are planting around 100,000 native trees, starting with our new botanic garden and the Kilombero Elephant Corridor, with help from Fondation Franklinia, @flamingolanduk, @PLinTanzania & @RainforestTrust.
