Craft Production to enhance biodiversity conservation

Tourism is one of the biggest businesses in and around the conservation areas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP) and Mgahunga National Park (MNP) in the districts of Kabake, Rubanda, Kisoro, and Kanungu. With incomes from agro-tourism, Agro-Tourism Association is supporting communities around the BINP and MNP to produce quality craft products to raise incomes for their livelihoods. This so far has seen many communities engage in more conservation practices such as planting if more indigenous trees, and establishing reformed poachers among others.

All the products have ready markets through one of our outlets such as at the National Theatre, The National Craft Association of Uganda (NACCA) Shop, No. 30
