Apart from creation of 2 no-takes reserves, the originality of PMCB is the use of artificial reefs, with the deployment of 4.884 m3, both for production and protection against illegal trawling. The success of protection reefs is showed on Figure 3, with the road of illegal trawling plotted before (1995) and after reef deployment and creation of the no-take reserve in Couronne (1997). The results are the decreasing of fishing pressure on the coastal band, by removal illegal trawling activities, witch are not selective (a lot of juveniles are caught) and mortality by fishing juveniles is the principal factor of the falling of catches. The efficiency of anti-trawling reefs allowed a better sharing of space and resources between local fishermen. It help traditional small scale fisheries (gillnet, trammel net, hook on line) who have selective techniques (catch only adults and thus facilitating conservation of fishing resources)  The other essential effect of protection reefs is to preserve the most productive and fragile natural habitats (Posidonia meadows and coralligenous reefs) from mechanical destruction by trawlers. These damages have important ecological and economic repercussions, because these habitats serving for spawning, nurseries, recruitment and feeding areas for the most part of the exploited resources.

The protection and surveillance within the 2 no-take reserves -where all kind of fishing, mooring and scuba diving are prohibited- is effective, with more than 2.400 hours of enforcement per year, mostly at sea, There is a great increase in fish biomass with an increase of abundance,  more bigger fishes, and come back of rare/sensitive species like groupers, brown meagre, seabass, etc: Experimental controlled fishing operations are conducted every 3 years within the reserve and showed that in 24 years, the mean weight of a fish increased by a factor of 2.6 (287 g in 2019 vs. 111 g in 1995. During this time, fishing captures have been multiplied by a factor of 7, with a catch rate per CPUE effort unit increasing from 1.1 kg / 100 m of net in 1995 to a maximum of 7.1 kg / 100 m in 2019 (Figure 2).

These spectacular results and a clear reserve effect not only concern fishes, but also the invertebrates like spiny lobsters: catches were multiplicated per 8 since the creation of the reserve. These results are important for artisanal fishers who benefits to biomass exportation processes: in the borders of marine reserves, the fishing yields can reach 2.5 kg/100 m of net; while in the rest of MPA, the mean CPUE is 1kg/100 m.

Value chain development and integrated market systems development were essential tools to link environmental restoration with economic resilience. Farmers were mobilized and organized into groups, associations and cooperatives; groups organized around selected value chains, with groups enabled to sign contracts and share resources and capacities. Improved bargaining was made possible due to the confidence in producing a harvest, thanks to sufficient water.

Access to the voluntary carbon market provides unconditional finance allowing the communities to earn revenue from the protection of their natural resources. Earned revenue results in increased ownership over the project and empowers forest communities to determine how that revenue will best be spent to improve forest protection activities and enhance community development in a way the serves the entire community. 

Carbon Tanzania is the project developer who connects the forest communities to the international voluntary carbon market by sourcing clients, organizing verification and registering the certified carbon credits on the respective environmental registries.

REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) projects can link sustainable management of biodiverse forests to economic and livelihood improvements. Using the REDD monitoring framework and methodology for carbon accounting, the forest communities of the Ntakata Mountains are empowered to earn carbon revenues through achieving reduced deforestation rates in the wildlife-rich forests of western Tanzania.

Once a REDD project has been developed and verified it must undergo regular certification to prove that deforestation has reduced and that the resulting carbon credits are real, measurable, permanent and additional. Without certification the carbon credits cannot be sold, putting an end to this revenue stream.

Collaborating and co-operating with local governments and organisations who share a common vision and common goals, yields enhanced results with greater efficiency, both in terms of resources used and funds deployed.

The first step is to identify partners with common goals but with varying strengths to achieve enhanced results. Time then needs to be taken to meet regularly, whereby relationships are developed and nurtured, to gain a deeper understanding of individual needs and to review and update procedures to ensure resources are shared and that strengths are being maximized.

Specific algorithms process the GPS data on position, altitude, speed and temperature and consider all zonation as poisoning-prone areas (based on land use for grazing and previous events) to determine if alert is necessary.  

Algorithms need to rule out vulture descending onto a cliff or nest, and to include only descent onto areas where carcass likelihood is highest (based on ground inclination).

Algorithm calculates slope of the land at point of descent and adds this to the poisoning likelihood determination.

• Integration of data on position, altitude, speed, and temperature from Orintela transmitters with the INPA information system 

In order to receive GPS data there have to be a requisite numner of birds with approriate tags that transmit real-time data.
