Environmental policy and administrative management

The implementation of COMPACT project Kilimanjaro Tanzania started in the year 2001. As part of the preparations for the start of the COMPACT project the need to collect baseline information was necessary. This baseline information includes socio-economic survey and Aerial survey of the mountain to identify major threats in and around the mountain forest. The collected information is used to guide the implementation of activities by COMPACT project. The aerial survey on the threats on the Mountain forest was conducted and result was shared by different stakeholders around Mt. Kilimanjaro through a consultative workshop. The result of this aerial survey was used to prepare priority conservation activities to be implemented by these stakeholders including COMPACT project. The results of the Aerial survey will also be used as a monitoring tool for activities implemented to mitigate the identified threats. The aerial survey will also be used as a tool for management of the forest.
