Beyond tourism

After decades of hardship, Karamoja’s people have embraced tourism as a pathway towards a brighter future. But poverty remains a persisten enemy, driving environmental degradation and trapping communities in a cycle of climate hardship. We’re dedicated to breaking this cycle.

Conservation Zones

We operate in five Biodiversity Hotspots in Uganda’s northeastern Karamoja sub-region. Each zone aimed at empowering indigenous custodians to protect their natural assets and improve livelihoods. The zones are located at:

Mount Moroto CFR
Pian Upe WR / Mount Kadam CFR
Kidepo Valley NP
Timu Forest CFR
Mount Morungole CFR

Alternative livelihoods

We support communities in developing community conservation enterprises aimed at the protection of biodiversity through poverty alleviation.
