Environmental Conservation

Lushoto is one of the areas in Tanzania where forests are sustainably preserved. A fallen giant tree like this is a witness. These trees tell tales of natural forests which are kept under watchful eye all those who are interested to see sustainable environment for the future. Trees like these are left to grow and later fall victim to natural elements like-rain,wind,fire, to weaken and burn or simply to rot and turn into manure if not firewood.

The Caves
