Tanzania Colobus Monkey Trust (TCMT), is a small non governmental, non-profit making, voluntary organization with vision to research, educate and promote grass root awareness in participatory conservation of wildlife and ecology to local communities living within or surrounding environmentally devastated areas particularly on areas with least statutory protection mechanisms e.g. areas outside the National Parks, Game Reserves, Game Controlled Areas etc.

Also TCMT focuses in potential restoration of the degraded areas mainly by raising seedlings and adequate planting of habitable tree species.

TCMT has designed, planned, organized and is in promotion of an exhilarating eco-cultural tourism program that will provide a full day blend of cultural and ecological tourism activities taking place in small villages and lush diverse forest and the Arusha National Park. This program will be run by local people and will therefore promote the general well being of the village and forest area through consistent employment and revenue.
