Park Recovery & Invasive Species Removal
Invasive species like Dichrostachys cinerea threaten native ecosystems by outcompeting local flora and fauna. We provide technical and financial support to manually remove invasive species, restoring 50 hectares in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Wildlife Conservation
We partner with Uganda Wildlife Authority to monitor wildlife, respond to snaring incidents, and provide training in drone operations, wildlife tracking, and animal rehabilitation. Over the past two years, we’ve trained 20 staff members, enhancing their capacity to protect endangered species.
Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation
To combat climate change, we’ve distributed over 100,000 tree seedlings to communities and trained locals in making energy-saving stoves and charcoal briquettes. These initiatives reduce pressure on park resources and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Combating Poaching & Illegal Wildlife Trading
We support law enforcement teams with drones, remote sensing technology, and training to track and prevent illegal activities. Additionally, we raise awareness through community outreach programs, reducing demand for endangered species.
Community Development
We empower local communities through education, sustainable livelihood programs, and natural resource management. Over 40 community members have been trained in crafts, beekeeping, aquaculture, and ecotourism, fostering economic resilience and conservation stewardship.
Supporting Reformed Poachers
We provide alternative livelihoods for reformed poachers through goat, pig, and rabbit rearing projects. These individuals now serve as powerful advocates for conservation, sharing their experiences to educate others.
Electric Fence Construction
To mitigate human-wildlife conflict, we’ve supported the construction of 10 km of electric fencing along Queen Elizabeth National Park’s northern border. This initiative protects both wildlife and local communities’ crops and livestock.
