Our Vision is to see that, the Eastern Arc Mountains and the people who depend on them live in harmony as one sustainable ecosystem. The forests and mountains will provide goods and services – from water to electrical power, from food and cash crops to medicines- for the people of Tanzania. And the world community will benefit from a protected biodiversity hotspot and a major carbon sink reducing global warming and mitigating climate change impacts.
For over twelve years, EAMCEF operations and project activities have largely been funded by the Royal Government of Norway (2011 – 2023). Between 2002 and 2009, EAMCEF was fully funded by the World Bank (WB) and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) through the Government of Tanzania
