Kara-Tunga Foundation – under the Karamoja Conservation Zones initiative – has trained farmers in Moroto and Nakapiripirit District in the basics of beekeeping. The training prepares farmers to manage beehives which will be placed in the Conservation Zones.
This initiative seeks to diversify people’s livelihoods which, crucially, promote nature conservation, particularly for trees. Reflecting on this innovative project, Kara Tunga said: “we firmly believe that the bee and the tree are inseparable. Without the bee, there is no tree, and without the tree, there is no life. That’s why we’re dedicated to involving local communities in every aspect of conservation. These farmers are the guardians of our trees, the catalysts for thriving ecosystems, and the very reason the bees continue to thrive.”
The Tour of Karamoja is more than just a bike event. It is an opportunity to experience the rich culture and stunning scenery of least travelled East Africa. Riders will meet different cultures, see untouched landscapes and create opportunities for the most vulnerable girls in this area.
