Improving sustainable natural resource management is a project that was concieved by BECA through a participatory process. It is designed to apply collaborative management techniques in the promotion of its activities.

The project area is an enclave between Kalinzu forest, Kasyoha Kitomi forest, Maramagambo forests and Queen Elizabeth National Park. The landscape is hilly and punctuated with numerous crater lakes. BECA is a community based organisation spearheading rural based innovative environmental management initiatives in Bunyaruguru County.

The project aims at promoting sustainable organic farming practices in the area so as to ensure sustainable utilization and enhancement of soil and land management in the hilly landscape. It also tries to mobilize and motivate rural communities to conserve biodiversity in the natural forests and introduce alternative livelihood options such as beekeeping, animal rearing to increase household incomes of the local community thus reducing human pressure on the forest resources.
