In the remote northeast of Uganda, the Kidepo landscape is home to some of Africa's most iconic species as well as centuries-old communities. Learn how AWF is balancing the needs of both people and wildlife in our new interactive StoryMap.

Our holistic approach combines water security, community governance, regenerative agriculture, wildlife protection, rights-based safeguards, and sustainable enterprise to strengthen coexistence between people and wildlife.

We support conservation that recognizes the realities of conflict by promoting inclusive dialogue, community partnerships, adaptive management, and cross-border cooperation to create resilient landscapes. 

 In Uganda's Karamoja region, many families depend on the same landscapes as wildlife for their livelihoods. We support communities with conservation skills, sustainable enterprises, and practical solutions that help people and wildlife thrive together.
