Cross River Gorillas are classified by the IUCN as Critically Endangered. The conservation status of these great apes is precarious due to habitat fragmentation and increasing human pressure across the Lebialem Highlands and Mone gorilla range. The project will lead to the upgrading of these areas into fully protected areas with management status.

ACF provides support for village based reforestation efforts in Eyasi, northern Tanzania, through the establishment of tree nurseries. By helping communities to grow their own trees we aim to lessen the pressure on the local forests.

This project addresses the interconnected issues of human poverty, declining land productivity and forest degradation in Eyasi Division of Northern Tanzania. Eyasi Division is situated amid important conservation areas such as the Serengeti,  Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara National Park.

EcoKids helps to establish and support environmental clubs in primary schools in Nakuru and Mau Forest Complex. Currently the project assists the schools with setting up nurseries for indigenous tree species and organising training for the teachers.
