What is the JGI TACARE (“Take Care”) program?
The JGI TACARE (“Take Care”) community-centered conservation programs in Congo and Tanzania preserve and restore the environment while giving hope to thousands of families through initiatives that improve health care, promote economic development, and support sustainable livelihoods. TACARE empowers villagers to build sustainable livelihoods while promoting regional conservation goals such as reforestation and an end to the illegal commercial bush meat trade. The programs are controlled and embraced by the local people.
