The first African Mountains Regional Forum has started at Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge in Arusha, Tanzania. The three-day forum to take place from October 22-24 is to provide an opportunity for different sustainable mountain development stakeholders to enhance understanding of common conservation and development issues in the region.

The forum is organized by the Albertine Rift Conservation Society (ARCOS) and the Africa Mountain Partnership Champions Committee (AMPCC) in partnership with the East African Community (EAC), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and other partners. Participants from African government institutions, academia, civil society, media and the private sector are in attendance.

Dr. Sam Kanyamibwa, the executive director of ARCOS, called the meeting “a celebration of the fragile mountain ecosystem.” 

Hon. Magessa Mulogo, the Arusha Regional Commissioner in a statement delivered by the District Commissioner Arumeru District, Mr. Deus Munasa, said Tanzania is well endowed with mid-range mountains including Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, which attracts more than 35,000 climbers a year.
