Mezimbite Forest Center is a conservation project in Mozambique which aims to eliminates poverty in forest communities by providing the highest valued jobs that protect and restore the forests of Africa.[citation needed]

It was founded by Allan Schwarz, formerly of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in 1994 to produce crafts from Mozambican hardwoods, and to plant trees to replace those used.[1][2]
