ABOUT US |

|
The Indigenous Heartland Organization (IHO) is registered in Tanzania as a non profit making organization, to facilitate the empowerment and development of indigenous people living in or adjacent to protected areas by forging unique partnerships between conservation initiatives and communities.
Indigenous peoples are natural allies to conservation, paying high price for tourism and have traditional mechanisms to manage the biodiversity. Indigenous communities have been target of ecotourism and cultural tourism in the globalised economy.
But often, there are conservation initiatives undertaken without their consent, and of exclusion from ancestral lands. Alienated from their main economic activity and disadvantaged from job opportunities by lack of education and subjected to poverty, Warrior Trails Ltd and Gofan Africa Safaris & Travel will strikes the balance by establishment of the Indigenous Heartland Organization (IHO) to provide scholarships to the disadvantaged Maasai, Barbaig and Hadzabe Girls and Boys in Secondary schools.
Recurrent drought raised the spectra of desertification in the indigenous heartlands. During successive droughts the very bush withers away to natural bare sticks and their cattle, sheep and goats perish by thousands. Warrior Trails and Gofan safaris busts the local market Economy by advertising the sell of indigenous natural honey, bead work jewellery – threading plastic beads onto wires shaped as bracelets, collars, and ear-decorations and this can be sold to the Tourists. On getting profits then women groups will be able to purchase cereal food for the available livestock and purchase of heifers after drought.
