Who we Are

The Tanzania Forest Services (TFS) Agency is a dedicated government institution committed to the sustainable management and conservation of Tanzania’s forest and bee resources. As an executive agency, TFS was established in 2010 to safeguard these vital ecosystems for the benefit of both present and future generations.

Our mission is to harmonize environmental protection with the socio-economic needs of local communities. Through strategic planning and effective implementation of national forestry policies, TFS works tirelessly to combat deforestation, promote reforestation, and encourage responsible forest utilization practices.

TFS is entrusted with the management of all forest reserves across the country. Our goal is to protect and enhance the ecological integrity of these areas by promoting sustainable practices. We work in close collaboration with local communities, government institutions, and non-governmental organizations to develop and implement conservation strategies tailored to the unique needs of each forest reserve.

In addition to forest conservation, TFS actively promotes beekeeping as a sustainable economic activity. This initiative empowers communities, fosters engagement, and enhances biodiversity. By integrating beekeeping with forest management, we contribute to both environmental preservation and the production of high-quality honey and other bee-related products, supporting rural livelihoods and local economies.

TFS is also deeply committed to raising public awareness about the importance of forests and their critical role in climate change mitigation. We aim to instill a strong sense of environmental responsibility among Tanzanians through education, outreach programs, and stakeholder engagement.

Through continued investment in research and innovation, TFS remains at the forefront of modern forest and beekeeping practices. By embracing technological advancements and applying scientific knowledge, we ensure that our strategies are both effective and future-oriented.

As a guardian of the nation's forests and reserves, TFS is unwavering in its dedication to balancing environmental conservation, community development, and sustainable economic growth. We are committed to fostering a harmonious coexistence between nature and human communities through a comprehensive, integrated approach to forest and bee resource management.
