At the Fondazione Capellino we travel only as much as necessary and for targeted purposes.
In Tanzania we intervene within the framework of Habitats & Corridors, alongside the association STEP, in the creation of a 13 kilometre long ecological corridor.
The corridor will connect Nyerere National Park to Udzungwa Mountains National Park, providing a direct transit route without contact with humans for plains and mountain elephants.
But not only that, we will intervene in the area with a circular economy project that will improve the quality of daily life of the inhabitants of the surrounding villages.
We will support farmers in the practice of biodiverse agriculture, in parallel with a program to empower village women, entrusted to the Mjumita association.
We will launch an education program for population containment and reduction of the impact of humans on nature.
We will create a factory that will produce bricks, made with waste from sugar cane and rice production mixed with clay.
We will create a solar power plant.
We will bring solar-powered cookstoves to replace charcoal and wood in food preparation.
For each of these companies, a partner company, leader in the field of intervention, will join the Fondazione Capellino.
We will immediately entrust the management to Tanzanians, reserving only the role of consultancy and management control for the Foundation and partner companies, until necessary.
In exchange for all this, the villagers will commit themselves by signing a real contract for the custody of the corridor and the safety of the elephants and the many wild species that have lived there since before man and that will pass through that corridor.
Through Habitats & Corridors we will prove that an alternative economic model is really possible, if many of us want it and support it.
