Operations in RWANDA
Where we work:
RWANDA
Rwanda’s government has developed mountain gorilla tourism into a world-class product vital to Rwanda’s economy. However, the expanding gorilla population requires more forest, even as the surrounding agrarian communities seek diversified, expanded economic opportunity. Rwanda’s answer is conservation investment that builds community resilience, creates jobs, and grows the economy.
Our conservation model, which could serve as a national model for conservation, will entail but not limited to the following:
- Transition the economy of the Volcanoes landscape through investments in high-value crops agriculture, tourism, forestry and beekeeping
- Restore degraded areas of the Volcanoes National ParkÂ
- Improve the socioeconomic opportunities and benefits for Rwandans
- Improve sustainable, conservation-based tourism experiences and economic benefits for Rwanda and Rwandans
- Create a land-use buffer
- PRIORITY LANDSCAPES
