#Avaaz: The #Tanzanian government has been on the attack for years -- burning homes and trying to evict entire Maasai communities to clear the way for elephant hunting and luxury tourism.

Now two presidential commissions are openly pushing for mass evictions, and thousands of families could lose access to water, medical care, and grazing rights in weeks.

The Maasai don't just live in #Ngorongoro -- their entire way of life is deeply woven into the grasslands, rivers, and open plains. They've successfully protected these lands for generations, so it's no wonder that wildlife is abundant or that elephants give birth here. And that's exactly why the government wants these lands for trophy hunting.

We cannot let it happen.

Avaaz members provided ALL the funding for a critical court case that previously blocked mass evictions. But now the government is more determined than ever. #Maasai elders are calling for our support because they simply don't have the money for expensive legal battles, and time is running out.

Massive, long-lived #trees discovered in the #Tanzanian rainforest are a new species https://phys.org/news/2025-03-massive-trees-tanzanian-rainforest-species.html

Tessmannia princeps (Fabaceae), a #NewSpecies of rainforest tree from the #Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania https://phytotaxa.mapress.com/pt/article/view/phytotaxa.694.2.1

"In addition to its massive girth, the tree grows a little taller than others around it in the rainforest... some of the newly discovered trees could be up to 3,000 years old. They are also slow growing, taking up to 15 years to add 1 centimeter of girth."

Italian #museum recreates #Tanzanian butterfly forest to raise awareness on biodiversity

In the heart of the Alps, the #Butterfly #Forest #blooms with vibrant colors, embodying the delicate beauty of nature. As #climate change threatens their habitats, #scientists at #MUSE are racing to protect these winged wonders and unravel the secrets of their survival. Butterfly populations are declining in many areas, especially in places under intensive land use. The tropical greenhouse in Trento has more than 200 plant species and 13 animal species.

Often, the smallest #fossil tells the best story. The #Tanzanian 🇹🇿 Drilling Project studies #fossils of #plankton and other tiny #marine organisms to better understand #climate and its impacts during periods of time much warmer than today. For example, this core was bored into #Paleocene rocks, revealing details of an #offshore #environment that existed just after one of our planet's largest mass #extinctions.

Excited to share our study with #Tanzanian officials on factors affecting #COVID-19 #vaccine rollout. We find:

✅ exec leadership is critical

🚨 investment needed to:
- mitigate mistrust
- overcome misinformation
- engage communities
