BIRDS

ITUMBA FUTURE  is  The main aim to optimise the use of resources under new management and/or ownership resulting in a positive impact on public finances.

• to combat poverty and deprivation in order to improve people’s welfare.
• to ensure macro-economic stability.
• to maintain an environmentally sustainable development path.
• to create an enabling environment for a strong private sector.
• to reduce government involvement in directly productive activities.
• to improve efficiency in the use of public resources.

Environmental framework

The national environmental policy Office 1997, defines the environmental framework for forest policy. 

The overall objectives of the national environmental policy are the following: 

• To ensure sustainable and equitable use of resources for meeting the basic needs of the present and future generations without degrading the environment or risking health or safety;
• To prevent and control degradation of land, water, vegetation and air which constitute our life support systems; 
• To conserve and enhance our natural and man-made heritage, including the biological diversity of the unique ecosystems of Tanzania; 
• To improve the condition and productivity of degraded areas including rural and urban settlements in order that all Tanzanians may live in safe, healthy productive and aesthetically pleasing surroundings; 
• To raise public awareness and understanding of the essential linkages between environment and development and to promote individual and community participation in environmental action 

• To promote international cooperation on the environment agenda, and expand our participation and contribution to relevant bilateral, sub-regional, regional and global organisations and programs, including implementation of conventions.

There is a clear cause-and-effect relationship between poverty and environmental degradation: environmental degradation leads to widespread poverty and poverty is a habitual cause of environmental degradation. Satisfaction of basic needs is therefore an environmental concern relevant to environmental policy. Investment in development is vital for environmental protection because the environment is the first victim of acute poverty, urban overcrowding, overgrazing, shrinkage of arable land and desiccation.

The ownership of land and natural resources, access and the right to use them are of fundamental importance, not only for more balanced and equitable development, but also to the level of care accorded to the environment. It is only when people can satisfy their needs, have control of the resource base as well as have secure land tenure that long-term objectives of environment protection can be satisfied. The communal tenure of village lands which are administered by village councils provides a good legal environment for the development of community-based forest and woodland management.

Idea

Shortly in Itumba Hill Area I would like to raising more birds like Gees,Goose,Vulturine Guinea Fowls, and game Birds,also Wilde Game such as Impala,Hartebeest,Zebra,Roan Antelope,Sable antelope,etc.

Planting Trees and fruit trees.

Although They are some wild game Resident at the Area like Roan antelope,Oribi,Hartebeest,and Sable The area is shine with what it has now according to the safety and Natural Habitat that they are getting around the area That shows me i would be one of the example to others.

By Starting That I would like to start with three Project That will improve it self and support each other at the time.

1. Turkey Raising
2. Guinea Fowl Raising
3. Bee-Keeping

In This matter as I said before this will help also Community to realise That they can use their lands in so many improvements,rather than do cutting down trees and farming same crops every year and get loss,which some who ever living near by becoming poachers in reserves.

There are Some Villagers do Raising Turkey that less than 10% in villages and less than 20% Raising Guinea fowls,and who ever doing bee-keeping they are doing locally way by using Tree Barks which they kill trees after Carve the bark from the Tree.

Goals

• Itumba Hill Conservation Singida will improve educations and knowledge in community,to teach them how to be creative and guard natural resource.
• Will deal in honey collecting from villagers so that they can make income also.
• Will deal in clean water environment for the community surrounding areas.
• Will improving up to 100% in Environmental Resources in the surrounding area.
• To show others that we can.
