Protecting Uganda’s Wildlife and the Communities Beside It

Conservation Village is a Ugandan wildlife conservation organisation working across many landscapes throughout Uganda, from mountain gorillas in Bwindi to pangolins in Budongo and beyond, joined by a single One Health approach.

Who We Are

Wildlife health, community wealth, one Uganda

Integrated Paradigm

The One Health Triad

One Health treats human health, wildlife and livestock across every landscape we work in as one interconnected system: people, forest animals and livestock rise or fall together. Every field intervention, however small, protects the whole chain at once.
