“WiNN Tanzania is about creating a space where women can connect, learn from one another, grow professionally, and have a stronger voice and role in conservation.” -Dr. Anna Mahulu, Co-founder and Lead, WiNN Tanzania

WiNN Tanzania brings together women working and aspiring to work in nature conservation across Tanzania. We provide a platform for women to connect, share knowledge and experience, build their skills, and support one another in their conservation journeys.

Our work focuses on mentorship and capacity building, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, conservation education and awareness, and community engagement. We are particularly committed to creating opportunities for young and early-career conservationists to gain practical experience and learn alongside experienced women in the field.

Through field-based activities, training, networking, and collaborative conservation initiatives, WiNN Tanzania connects women from different backgrounds and career stages and encourages greater participation and leadership of women in conservation.

Our recent activities have included field training and mentorship for young conservationists, biodiversity and ecosystem work at Lake Eyasi, mangrove restoration, coastal and marine conservation activities, and community-based conservation initiatives. These activities combine practical conservation with opportunities for women and young conservationists to learn, contribute, and grow professionally.

As the network continues to grow, our aim is to strengthen connections among women in conservation across Tanzania and create more opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, professional development, and meaningful participation in protecting Tanzania’s biodiversity and ecosystems.

One thing that is especially important to us is ensuring that WiNN Tanzania is not only a professional network, but also a space where connections lead to real opportunities and conservation action. We want women, particularly students and early-career conservationists, to have opportunities to gain practical experience, find mentors, build collaborations, and develop the confidence and skills needed to grow in the conservation sector.
