Mpingo Conservation is a brand that works in partnership with indigenous communities to realize the economic value of conserving their forests. Founded in 1995, originally under the name of the Cambridge Mpingo Project, the brand began with the Tanzanian Mpingo 96 student expedition. Over the years, Mpingo Conservation has transformed and evolved, winning awards and establishing a permanent field base in Kilwa District, Lindi region-Tanzania.

Mpingo Conservation offers a range of products and services to support their mission. They provide sustainable timber solutions, with a variety of hardwood and non-hardwood species available for purchase. Their approach focuses on community-based forest capacity building, as well as forest certification, monitoring, and research.

Mpingo Conservation also engages in projects related to REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), aiming to diversify community forest revenues. The brand operates in various locations in Tanzania, including the Miombo woodlands and coastal forests. Through their efforts, Mpingo Conservation has made significant impacts in forest conservation, community benefits, and rural development.

They have published annual reports and publications to showcase their achievements in these areas. For those interested in supporting their cause, Mpingo Conservation provides opportunities for donation and offers a FAQ section for inquiries
