Infrastructure Development at Darajambili Campus - College of Forestry, Wildlife and Tourism

Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) through the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Tourism is committed to enhancing forest sustainability and productivity in Tanzania. The college provides quality education, research, outreach, and consultancy services in forestry, wildlife, tourism, natural resources, recreation, and hospitality

One of the core issues in meeting the university and college goals is infrastructure development. The college recognizes the importance of building layout measurement in meeting future goals.According to the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) 2020 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Tanzania has a total forest area of 48.1 million hectares, which is equivalent to 51.2% of the land area

However, the report also highlights that Tanzania has experienced a net loss of 402,000 hectares of forest per year between 2010 and 2020. This loss is attributed to various factors, including deforestation, forest degradation, and conversion of forest land to other uses. To address these challenges, the college has developed a forest management plan that involves a series of activities, including data collection, analysis, and implementation of management prescriptions

The plan aims to enhance forest sustainability and productivity by promoting sustainable forest management practices, such as reducing deforestation and forest degradation, increasing forest cover, and promoting forest-based industries. Infrastructure development is a critical component of the forest management plan. The college recognizes that building layout measurement is essential in meeting future goals. The layout measurement involves the design and planning of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure within the forest area. The design and planning take into consideration the ecological, economic, and social sustainability of land use

The layout measurement ensures that the infrastructure development is done in a way that minimizes the impact on the forest ecosystem and promotes sustainable forest management practices.

In conclusion, Sokoine University of Agriculture through the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Tourism is committed to enhancing forest sustainability and productivity in Tanzania. The college recognizes the importance of infrastructure development in meeting university and college goals. Building layout measurement is a critical component of infrastructure development, and the college is committed to ensuring that it is done in a way that promotes sustainable forest management practices. Through these efforts, the college aims to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of Tanzania’s forest resources.
