This is the aim of the Uganda Conservation Foundation. Working with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), UCF aims to sensitise communities and demonstrate through practical projects how people can gain financial benefits from conservation. UCF’s current challenge is assisting UWA in the recovery of the 400km² Dura sector north of Lake George, where wildlife has literally been wiped out by poaching. The Dura project is an extension of the successful Waterways project, which is combating ivory poaching, bushmeat smoking, live animal trafficking and illegal fishing across Lakes Edward, George and Albert. Other successful projects include measures to reduce elephant crop raiding. Since the excavation of 30km trenches and erection of 13 elephant fences no retaliatory killings of elephants have been reported. Farmers are now harvesting their crops, allowing children to attend secondary school rather than guard crops, proving that simple low-tech solutions can make a massive difference to rural communities’ quality of life.
