In recent years, the Tana and Tedzami Valley has attracted many people. This place is known for its beautiful nature, clean air, and rich history. Here you will find forests, mountains, trails, and springs — but the true value of it all lies in the people who live here.
Why Did This Area Become Protected?
The people living here see nature as a friend and an essential part of life. The valley is home to unique forests, springs, and cultural heritage. To preserve these values and pass them on to future generations, the valley was declared a protected area.
Does This Mean Restrictions?
No!
A protected area does not mean that activities are forbidden. It is still possible to:
- Practice agriculture
- Herd livestock
- Develop tourism
- Engage in cultural activities
The important thing is that everything is done in a way that doesn’t harm nature — so we can preserve it for future generations.
Why Is the Role of Local People Important?
The people who live here know the valley better than anyone. They know:- Where the trails lead
- Where the springs emerge
- Which places are truly valuable
That’s why they are the main protectors of nature.
What Are the Benefits of a Protected Area?
A protected area can bring many positive changes, such as:
- Development of tourism
- Strengthening of family-run businesses
- Promotion of local products
- Educational projects for children
All of this helps both to strengthen the community and to protect nature — at the same time.
Conclusion
This is not an obstacle — it’s an opportunity.A protected area doesn’t mean restrictions. It’s a chance to care for nature together and to live better lives ourselves.
