We are looking back at an inspiring visit to Kijani Forestry in Gulu, which are revolutionising conservation through sustainable charcoal production.
This is one of many strategical partnerships we are building to roll out our ‘Karamoja Conservation Zone’ initiative. This initiative aims at environmental conservation of places adjacent to protected areas through development of sustainable community enterprises.
Sustainable Charcoal Production
The Karamoja sub-region in Uganda is rapidly developing and, as a result, at risk of deforestation and land degradation because of mining, agricultural expansion and charcoal and firewood production.
Karamoja Conservation Zones
The sub-region is in need of effective conservation and reforestation interventions. Mount Moroto and Mount Kadam Central Forest Reserves (CFRs), specifically, have been identified as restoration hotspots.
The Karamoja Conservation Zones initiative of Kara-Tunga Foundation (KTF) attends to this potential by developing and scaling a model for ‘buffer zones’ at the border of CFRs, starting at Mount Moroto and Mount Kadam. The core zone houses ecotourism activities and accommodation and a central ‘hub’ for the conservation efforts happening around.
Kara-Tunga Foundation
KTF is a Ugandan not-for-profit organisation which aims at fostering peace, prosperity and conservation of natural and cultural resources through eco-tourism development in Uganda’s northeastern Karamoja sub-region.
UWA recently embarked on the refurbishment and construction of accommodation facilities in Karamoja game reserves such as Matheniko and Pian Upe to enhance tourism in the region.
Bicycles for conservation in Karamoja – To reduce the carbon footprint and cost of our operations, we have ordered Ugandan-made reliable and strong bicycles from a fantastic social enterprise called CooP-Uganda (Cycling Out Of Poverty).
This announcement has been long awaited! The sixth edition of The Karamoja Cultural Festival Event 2022 is taking place in Abim district and Kara-Tunga is organising a Group Safari to attend the event.
As the school year ends, students of our partner Shanita spent an unforgettable weekend in Kidepo Valley National Park – one of Uganda’s most amazing natural treasures, right in our backyard.
