Kasokwa Forest Area is comprised of riverine community forest patches formerly part of Budongo Forest Reserve system, a part of the Albertine rift forests with a total of 465 tree species, 359 bird species, 24 mammals, 289 butterflies and 130 moths. These forest patches are therefore rich in biodiversity notably a family of fifteen isolated chimpanzees (pan troglodytes). The Kasokwa forest patches are not under any substantive protection status and therefore the biodiversity therein is at the behest of local communities. The goal of the project is to conserve the Kasokwa forest patches and ensure survival of the endangered chimpanzees through collaborative forest management practices and promotion of alternative income generating activities. Specific activities include, research and monitoring, re-afforestation and agro-forestry, environmental awareness campaigns and education, micro-economic activities.
