In Tanzania, customary law plays a significant role in protecting environmental resources by integrating traditional practices and beliefs into conservation efforts. Local communities often have established norms that govern the sustainable use of Natural Resources, which align with environmental conservation principles. These customary regulations can complement statutory environmental laws, empowering communities to manage their resources effectively and ensure biodiversity preservation. By recognizing and upholding these customs, the legal framework supports a more holistic approach to environmental protection.

A received law is a source of law in Tanzania because it refers to laws that have been borrowed or adopted from other jurisdictions. Tanzania, being a former British colony, has inherited and incorporated English common law into its legal system. Consequently, received law, along with other sources of law, such as legislation and customary law, contributes to the overall legal framework in Tanzania.

The existence of legislation is essentially de jure whereas customary law exists de facto.Legislation grows out of the theoretical principles but customary law grows out of practise and long existence.legislation as a source is historically much latter as compared to customary law which is oldest form of law.Legislation is an essential characteristic of modern society whereas the customary law has developed through primitive society.legislation is complete, precise, written in form and easily accessible,whereas customary law is mostly unwritten and is difficult to trace.
