Where We Work:
UGANDA
Uganda is home to the largest freshwater lake on the continent and significant biodiversity, but its rich natural resources are threatened by a push for development to serve a growing population. We are helping to realize a prosperous Uganda in which wildlife and healthy ecosystems are the bedrock for community and national development through people-centered conservation, policy development, and protected area support.
Â
Our work reflects a holistic strategy that includes:
- Community empowerment, especially through livelihoods development and human-wildlife conflict mitigation
- Technical support for the creation of Uganda’s first community conservancies
- Community/private partnerships to enhance community resilience and quality of life
- Counter-wildlife-trafficking support to protect threatened wildlife
Currently, we operate in four landscapes that together are home to elephants, gorillas, chimps, and other endangered species.
- PRIORITY LANDSCAPES
