Zoka Tropical Rainforest, Uganda's last northern tropical forest, faces destruction from illegal logging, charcoal burning, and land degradation. This project restores 300 hactares of degraded areas through indigenous tree planting, community conservation, youth engagement, and transparent drone-supported forest monitoring with security accountability to state house to curb illegal activities, reducing greenhouse, strengthen climate resilience and sustain local livelihoods.
Zoka Tropical Rainforest in northern Uganda is under severe pressure from illegal logging, charcoal burning, and land encroachment. Over 2,000 hectares have been degraded, leading to biodiversity loss, soil erosion, reduced rainfall, and declining water quality. Weak enforcement and limited livelihood alternatives for nearby communities continue to drive forest destruction, increasing climate vulnerability and environmental risk in the region.
This project will restore degraded forest areas through large-scale planting of indigenous trees and assisted natural regeneration. It will strengthen community conservation groups, provide alternative livelihoods like herbal medicines and habitate species, and conduct environmental education. Transparent drone-based monitoring and coordinated enforcement with authorities will reduce illegal logging and encroachment, ensuring long-term protection, biodiversity recovery, and climate resilience.
The project will restore 300 hactares degraded forest ecosystems, recover biodiversity, and protect water catchments in Northern Uganda. Over time, it will reduce deforestation, improve rainfall patterns, and strengthen climate resilience. Communities will gain sustainable livelihoods through conservation-based enterprises, reducing dependence on forest destruction. Zoka Forest will become a protected, self-sustaining ecosystem supported by local stewardship and improved monitoring systems
