Why
Healthy land beyond park boundaries

The Serengeti ecosystem does not stop at park boundaries. The land around it — farms, villages, school grounds — is part of the same living system. Trees hold soil and water, give shade and shelter, and help the wider landscape stay healthy.

    Protecting what grows

    Planting is only the beginning. We look after young trees until they can stand on their own.

Every gift goes directly to our work in Mugumu.
