Summary
This project will work with local people and established tour operators to develop and test new “pro-poor” products and services that have the potential to increase local revenue from tourism around Bwindi Forest in Uganda, thus contributing to poverty alleviation, improving attitudes to conservation and reducing threats to gorillas.
The UK remains committed to playing a significant role in the world, in our national interest, in the interests of the poorest, and to ensure a liveable planet.
