Our Programs
From mountain forests to the shores of Lake Victoria, our teams are on the ground every day.
🌱
Reforestation
We restore native forest cover across degraded hillsides and buffer zones, using indigenous tree species suited to Uganda's diverse climate zones.
🦜
Wildlife Rescue & Rehab
Our rescue centre in Entebbe rehabilitates injured and orphaned wildlife, from shoebill storks to chimpanzees, for safe return to the wild.
💧
Wetland Conservation
Uganda's wetlands filter water and shelter wildlife. We work with local authorities to halt drainage and restore degraded papyrus swamps.
📚
Environmental Education
We run school programmes and community workshops to build a generation of Ugandans who understand and value their natural environment.
