Ecotourism For Conservation Education
The project creates meaningful nature-based experiences that immerse children, youth, and communities in Uganda’s wildlife and natural landscapes. Through guided birdwatching trips, national park visits, and community nature walks, the project enables participants to experience the beauty, diversity, and importance of the natural world firsthand.
What We Do
- Deliver conservation lessons in schools
- Conduct nature walks and birdwatching trips
- Train youth in environmental leadership
- Establish school nature clubs
- Promote hands-on learning about ecosystems
Why It Matters
Many children and youth, especially in rural areas, have never visited a national park or experienced wildlife up close. By bridging this gap, the project:
- Builds deep appreciation for wildlife and biodiversity
- Encourages responsible behaviour toward natural habitats
- Strengthens environmental knowledge through real-world experience
- Inspires future careers in tourism, conservation, guiding, and ecology
- Supports the development of youth eco-leadership
Exposure to nature is a powerful motivator—when young people experience it, they are far more likely to protect it.

Other Projects
Tree Planting
Initiative
The Tree Planting Initiative restores the environment while enriching school communities with fruit trees, shade trees, and protective hedges.
Our work focuses on planting Breadfruit and other fruit species that support nutrition, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
Environmental
Education
This project delivers dynamic environmental education to children and youth through school visits, nature walks, birdwatching excursions, and conservation clubs. Our goal is to nurture a generation that understands nature and actively works to protect it.
Bee Keeping
for Conservation
The Beekeeping for Conservation Project promotes sustainable beekeeping as a tool for ecological protection and community empowerment. Using our natural forest apiary, we train learners and farmers in beekeeping techniques that protect pollinators and support local ecosystems.
