Carbon Falcon Drone Mapping
Integral technical support in the form of aerial imagery of the project site, and detailed satellite
generated mapping to enable calculation of the rate of deforestation in the project areas in the
coastal region and other REDD projects.
+an idea of what proportion of your total area is for reforestation, and what proportion
is for avoided deforestation/degradation?
can please provide maps and/or shapefiles of the boundaries of those areas.

We manage several pockets of land along the east coast of Tanzania. The land is now primarily mangrove forest, and we hope to introduce moringa trees into these areas. The mangrove tree has many benefits to an ecosystem, it is a natural barrier to storm surges, it absorbs an abundance of carbon, preserves the purity of the water by filtering pollutants, and acts as a nursery habitat for local fisheries.
Global Coral Alliance - Dr Goreau will provide Tanzanian coral miners with supplies, training, and equipment to grow red seaweed, which when processed can be used for cattle feed. Locally grown Asparagopsis taxiformis (AT), a food supplement, reduces methane production by up to 90% in cows. When we shift the Tanzanian women coral miners away from pulverizing coral into cement aggregate, we help protect the coral reefs. Maintaining the biodiversity inherent to coral reef ecosystems is vital to our planet's survival. We are using BIOROCK technology to repair damaged coral structures and create new reefs. In deeper waters we are seeding floating farms with AT and oysters. International ventures like CH4Global and Blue Barn are racing to expand their ocean farming footprint, strengthen their supply chains, and perfect their AT processing technology. Meanwhile, Tanzania and Zanzibar have a well-established seaweed export industry, and government ministers keen on growing their Blue Economy. AM together with GCRA and BGW's demonstration coral restoration and red seaweed project comes at a most opportune time.
3,000,000 Indigenius tress planted in 2020/2021 season. RCFP will enable rural poor villagers to access clean,safe,drinking water. Working with women self help clusters , Girl child and adult education, and Climate Smart Agriculture including planting indigenous trees and fruit trees, this bottom -up approach has a sustainable and life changing impact on communities. locals with solar powered, easy-to-maintain, drip irrigation infrastructure. This allows them to farm year round, making their current farm footprint four times more productive. Using regenerative agriculture expertise from Rich Carbon footPrint in Tanzania, beekeeping training from TFS, our farmers get ‘more crop per drop’. We set up advance purchase contracts with top restaurants in Tanzania/Zanzibar, and a speedy river-based logistics chain, giving farmers the ability to sell organic produce at premium prices. Restaurants and hotels in Tanzania /Zanzibar pay a premium for our 18 hour farm-to-table service. Next year we plan to collaborate with cosmetic companies to sell the wrinkle-reducing milk that snails produce for their luxury skin care products. Coral-miners-turned-wantrepreneur will have 100,000 liters served to the coastal areas. Will be selling 20 litres of safe (better than WHO standard), affordable (much less than one penny US ) drinking water. Our water is purified by local plants - Moringa and neem. Our farms create sustainable jobs for locals, not only increasing food security but allowing them to make money year around.
Tanzania with a population of 61,741,120 people (51.3% female) is the 5th and 2 Nd country in the world and Africa with the highest deforestation rates respectively. Tanzania lost 165kha of natural forest, equivalent to 63.1mt of co2 emissions in 2021. In addition, 54% of all the tree cover lost between 2001 and 2021 is contributed by 5 regions in Tanzania namely, Pwani , Lindi, Morogoro, Tabora and Ruvuma. However, in comparison to an average tree cover loss of 95.3 kha. Pwani had the most tree cover loss 384 kha. The main drivers for the highest deforestation rates in these regions are conventional charcoal production, agriculture, and settlement among others. According to the world bank, only 5 of Tanzania population
Is accessing clean fuels and technologies for cooking.
It is reported that Dar Es Salaam consumers nearly 50 % of all the conventional charcoal produced in the country. The cost, cooking time, and habit/ tradition are the main reasons for the energy preference most of Tanzanians. The utilization of conventional charcoal results in multiple effects ranging from the depletion of natural resources, and health - related diseases (respiratory) among others.
Dar Es Salaam is experiencing water rationing mainly due to the dropping of water supply from the Ruvu River from 466 million liters a day to about 300 million liters day, while the city consumes about 500 million liters a day. High deforestation rates due production of conventional charcoal, and agriculture activities among others are some of contributing factors.
The aforementioned challenges need immediate action. The promotion of the different sources of clean cooking energy sources is important based on the economic status and preference of the end users.
African Malaika intends to work with women groups from the Pwani / Coastal and Dar Es Salaam regions in the production of bio - briquettes and fabrication of fuel-efficient stoves (FES).
Fuel efficient wood stoves
Led to design and implementation of a fuel - efficient wood stove.
This promises health and conversation.
Benefits to local people and could be incorporated as part of the emission reductions activities in our community - based projects, which would allow additional carbon finance to be raised.
Moringa Miracle Food
SDG 6-
TO IMPROVE DRINKING WATER AND NUTRITION THROUGH
PURCHASE AND USE OF A MORINGA SEED PRESS TO SERVE
THREE RURAL VILLAGES. ( 45,000 people)
Clean drinking water is a big problem in rural, often non-electrified
villages in Tanzania. After bearing my child years ago, I was not
capable of producing enough breast milk. This was and is an on-
going problem for women throughout Tanzania due to poor nutrition,
lack of proper medical services and personal biological reasons.
When this happens in the United States, we supplement feeding with
powdered formula mixed with clean drinking water. This is not an
option in many villages in Tanzania where water is often
contaminated with e-coli and other pathogens. At that time. I used
moringa cake (powder to clean water) moringa oil to improve my
situation and stimulated lots of milk and my dignity back. At that time,
I immediately thought of other women facing similar or worse
predicament.
A Moringa seed oil press helps to decontaminate the dirty water and
produce a nutritious oil.
* 300,000 litres of clean water to 3 communities in Mkurnga South
Tanzania
* Inexpensive method to filter clean ,safe drinkig water
* locally sourced from the Moringa seed powder, which is a
byproduct of Moringa seeds pressed for moringa oil
* Benefits a family of 6 without use of electricity.
* Extra Benefits is the oil can be used for cooking and extra powder
added to the diet for improved nutrition (see research reported by the
