          Uganda Reforestation Projects

          The project has already planted around 1.3 million indigenous trees over the past four years, of which 75% have grown successfully, across the 25km2 project site. This planting has taken place in the places where it is most urgently needed for the Chimpanzee population.

          Helping local households conserve the forest

          Uganda's reforestation project didn't just about tree-planting projects. While it involves replanting trees and vegetation in previously forested areas affected by natural or unnatural disturbances, local residents and farmers; it emphasized the importance of the SDGs by providing a series of trainings on education, health, economics, and leadership.

          Replanting trees and vegetation in previously-forested

          The project has already planted around 1.3 million indigenous trees over the past four years, of which 75% have grown successfully, across the 25km2 project site. In addition, owners of natural forests used by chimpanzees have been supported by contributing to costs of their children's education on the condition that local forests are conserved. 

          Community development with tree planting

          A series of training about conservation farming, new income sources, building and use of more fuel-efficient stoves, HIV/AIDS, water quality, benefits of trees, erosion control, water quality, leadership skills provided free of charge to the local people and farmers while the solutions were implemented in the field.

          What we’ve achieved with this project:

          Trees To Be Planted

          Hectares to Be Protected

          Planting with economic development

          Investing in nature, investing in society

          In this project, carried out with other local stakeholders in Uganda, a need-solution methodology was applied for applications in deforested areas. In order to ensure that the practices turn into a sustainable value, DGB organized a series of free social & economic workshops for the farmers and the society in the region. In this way, it has been ensured that the people of the region become more socially and economically aware individuals.

          Community Collabration

          Our local team led by Dr. McLennan is a 25-strong field team composed of local Ugandans, mostly from villages within the project area. The manager and senior planting team are all qualified foresters and agriculturalists. Based full-time in the project area, daily field presence is increased, while keeping running costs low. The tree growing and planting program is well-established regionally, with a strong capacity to grow further (i.e. with sufficient funds additional nurseries can be established and our targets increased).

          Monitoring

          DGB has deployed an innovative and award winning 18 data collection system that consists of battery-operated smartphones, GPS receivers, data, and image uploads through laptops or internet access points to monitor project activities. The data collection is conducted by trained local representatives, called Quantifiers, who are often Small Group members. They travel to each specific project area by walking, bikes, and local buses. DGB does not own any vehicles.

          About this region

          Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa, within the great lakes region. The country has a very diverse geography, characterized by volcanic hills and mountains, and lakes. Uganda had a 2019 Forest Landscape Integrity Index mean score of 4.36/10 - reforestation is a conservation and environmental priority for the country, particularly for the vast number of forest species for whom Uganda forms a critical part of their range. Burundi is situated in the country’s western region, near the city of Hoima. The region has a warm tropical climate with rains falling from March to May and then again from September to November.
