Achievements
Early support from individuals and
institutions has been crucial. GOSESO has advanced its mission of bridging
human and wildlife prosperity in one of the most impoverished areas
of Africa. Since its inception in 2004, GOSESO has accomplished so much.
The following are examples.
- Designed an innovative
grass-roots and indigenous-based curriculum for GOSESO
- Created a legally recognized
and financially viable non-profit foundation based in Tanzania
- Developed a unique framework
to address issues facing Africans today. The need to alleviate poverty
and improve conservation practices is attracting hundreds of worldwide
viewers to our website daily, www.goseso.org.
- Generated widespread grassroots
support focused on environmental stewardship, community-building, and
economic sustainability
- Procured almost 500 acres
at the center of the Kitobe Forest for the project’s headquarters
and site for environmental restoration and economically sustainable
enterprise projects; with enough room of expansion in the future
- Inventoried the flora and
fauna of the entire Kitobe Forest. The study results reveal that our
forest harbors at least 63 different plant species, 57 bird species,
and 13 different species of mammals and reptiles
- Above all, our strategic
plan has enabled GOSESO to: (a) initiate economically significant yet
environmentally sensitive demonstration projects; (b) lead critical
educational programs for youth and adults; and (c) attract, apply, and
channel resources, financial and human, to support environmental preservation
by providing economic hope to the people of the region. The framework
of the strategic plan has provided sound guidance in implementing these
programs.
