 | | The Duru-Haitemba miombo forest in the Babati District, Arusha Region, a 9,000 ha area, and the Mgori forest in the Singida District, Singida Region, a larger and more intact miombo woodland of 40,000 ha, were in a state of acute decline, with loss of area and biodiversity. |
 | | The strategy adopted in Duru-Haitemba was replicated in the Singida Region, where the vast Mgori forest is located. |
 | | The forest is now actively and successfully managed by the adjacent village communities through Village Forest Committees, the deployment of village youth as patrolmen of their respective Village Forest Reserves, and the establishment of agreed "rules" by each village, which have the force of village By-Laws. |
