Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS)

Tanzania Forest Services (TFS) Agency is a dedicated government institution that is committed to the sustainable management and conservation of the rich forests and bee resources in Tanzania. This executive agency was established with the vision to preserve these vital ecosystems for both present and future generations.

Our mission is to balance the socio-economic needs of local communities to safeguard Tanzania’s forests. Through strategic planning and effective implementation of forestry policies, we work tirelessly to mitigate deforestation, promote reforestation initiatives, and foster responsible forest utilization practices.

TFS actively manages all the forest reserves across the country as we aim to protect and enhance the ecological morality of these areas in a manner that promotes sustainability. We collaborate with local communities, governmental bodies, as well as non-governmental organizations to develop and implement conservation strategies that address the unique challenges faced by each reserve in the country.

The agency promotes beekeeping as a viable economic activity, fostering community engagement and empowerment. The agency not only contributes to the preservation of biodiversity but also supports local economies through the production of high-quality honey and other bee-related products by merging beekeeping with forest management practices.

TFS is committed to raising awareness about the importance of forests and their role in mitigating climate change. TF strives to instill a sense of environmental responsibility and stewardship within Tanzanian society through educational programs, outreach initiatives, and stakeholder collaboration. 

We actively engage in research and development to stay at the forefront of innovative forest management techniques and beekeeping practices. TFS embraces technological advancements and incorporates scientific knowledge into our strategies, ensuring that our efforts are both effective and valuable in the long run.

We are a dedicated guardian of the nation’s forests and reserves as we work diligently to balance environmental conservation, community development, and sustainable economic practices. TFS is committed to ensuring the harmonious coexistence of nature and human communities in Tanzania through its multifaceted approach to forest management, conservation, and beekeeping.
