Former Vice President Phillip Mpango called on citizens to champion environmental restoration efforts after receiving National Environment Management Council officials at his Mayamaya residence in Dodoma Region. The retired leader warned that conservation zones face mounting pressure from illegal activities, including river diversions, dam destruction, and unauthorized timber harvesting that accelerates forest loss.
Mpango recommended strengthening NEMC enforcement powers while advocating for botanical gardens and green parks in urban centers. He identified livestock overgrazing, uncontrolled farming, and invasive species as threats requiring comprehensive policy responses.
Director General Immaculate Sware Semesi praised Mpango's contributions and committed to integrating his recommendations into conservation strategies. The consultation aimed to leverage experienced former officials in advancing ecological sustainability nationwide.
