JGI UGANDA FIELD PROGRAMMES & EDUCATION PROGRAMMES

Introduction:

JGI's core conservation efforts in Uganda focus of 5 forests blocks that contain over 75%of the chimpanzee population in Uganda. These include:

1.Budongo Central Forest Reserve

2.Bugoma Central Forest Reserve

3.Kibale Forest National Park

4.Kalinzu Central Forest Reserve

5.Kasyoha Kitomi/MaramagamboCentral Forest Reserves

In addition to the above core target areas, JGI plans to undertake conservation activities in forest habitats in North Western Uganda. This area has the highest recorded levels of illegal trade in chimpanzees in Uganda. Secondly, the chimpanzee habitat in Northern Uganda is highly vulnerable because of the current increase in immigration and settlement in the aftermath of a 20 year protracted war in this region.
