Environmental management is the responsibility of all the citizens of Tanzania. The future quality and diversity of Tanzanian environment will depend not only on actions by the National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) only, but on decisions made and actions taken by each one of us as individuals and by us collectively through our government at local and national levels. Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility.
