CLICK HERE TO HELP CONSERVE THE BULINDI CHIMPANZEES

The Bulindi chimpanzees are a community of wild chimpanzees clinging to survival in disappearing and unprotected habitat in  Western Uganda.


Local village households are poor. In just two decades, most of the chimpanzees' forest home was cut down by villagers seeking to raise cash from timber and farming to support their families.

The Bulindi Chimpanzee & Community Project helps local households conserve the forest, which is so critical to the survival of the chimpanzees, by supporting them in key areas.


Since the project's inception in 2015, local households in Bulindi committed to stop clearing forest, which is starting to regenerate, and the chimpanzees had a baby boom with four new infants born in 2016! In 2017 we began expanding the project to nearby areas to conserve other imperilled families of chimpanzees and support additional village households.

WE NEED YOUR HELP to continue this effective conservation project!!

OUR PROJECT OBJECTIVES
2019

Our objective for 2019 is to expand the project to two nearby sites within the region, while advancing our core activities at Bulindi, Kitoba and Kiziranfumbi:

(i) tree planting and forest enrichment,

(ii) investment in education via our schoolchild sponsorship scheme, and
 
(iii) daily monitoring of the Bulindi chimpanzees

Additionally, we will:

(iv) implement a corridor replanting initiative (connecting remaining forest along rivers to assist with chimpanzee movement)​

(v) construct a further 250 energy-saving stoves for local households,

(vi) deliver education programme for local school children,  

​(vii) construct 8 boreholes to provide villagers with clean drinking water.
