OUR VISION

Future Ambitions & Conservation Roadmap

We believe true conservation stretches beyond the parks. From rehabilitating offenders to building wildlife-integrated communities, here is what we are building next.

Rehabilitation Tracker

Tracking incarcerated wildlife criminals to monitor their progress and reintegration. Because what cannot be measured, cannot be improved.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Mixed Community Settlements

Designing and building communities that profit economically from co-existing safely and sustainably alongside wildlife habitats.

PLANNING PHASE

Population Monitoring System

An integrated tracking system to show and monitor both animal and human populations in shared territorial zones to prevent conflict.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Trafficked Species Monitoring

Scaling our existing trafficked species software tools to track, flag, and monitor a vastly increased number of vulnerable species.

IN DEVELOPMENT

University Conservation Law

Bringing legal infrastructure to academia by introducing dedicated conservation and wildlife law classes into university curricula.

PLANNING PHASE

Certified Volunteer Academy

Establishing a globally recognized training program to equip volunteers with certified conservation skills, field survival, and wildlife management basics before deployment.

PLANNING PHASE

IUCN Monitoring for Invisible Creatures

Deploying advanced sensory and trail camera networks to index, monitor, and protect elusive and nocturnal species under hidden IUCN threat categories.

IN DEVELOPMENT

National Bird Database (Bird Db)

Developing a comprehensive, open-source database to track avian populations, monitor migration routes, and log citizen-science sightings across all habitats.

PLANNING PHASE

Regional Audio Soundscapes

Preserving the auditory heritage of Uganda's ecosystems through high-fidelity acoustic ecology, capturing the unique sonic signatures of diverse wildlife regions.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Community Anti-Poaching

Expanding training and community-based anti-poaching networks near key reserve borders.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Law Resource Hub

Creating an online database of judicial decisions and case studies for wildlife prosecutors.

PLANNING PHASE

Corridor Mapping

Mapping and documenting historical migration corridors to secure wildlife movement zones.

PLANNING PHASE

Bring these visions to life.
