ITFC’s achievements
cover many themes:
• The regulation
and monitoring of
resource use in
Bwindi Impenetrable
national park
• The successful
habituation of
gorilla groups for
research and tourism
• Coordination of
regular gorilla
censuses
• Wide adoption of
methods to limit
crop damage by
animals on park
boundaries
• Water quality
monitoring leading
to changes in local
environmental
regulations
Some 60
post-graduate
students have
studied at ITFC and
are now amongst
Uganda’s leading
conservationists and
scholars.
Researchers from
around the world are
attracted by ITFC’s
reputation as a
centre pursuing
globally important
issues in a unique
setting. Over the
years ITFC has
acquired
impressive
facilities,
including offices,
library, internet
access, herbarium,
laboratory and
accommodation.
Please download
this
summary of known
cases where ITFC
(alone or in
conjunction with
collaborators) has
directly contributed
to improved
conservation or
related outcomes.
Note that the list
is likely very
incomplete as many
likely cases of
indirect influence
cannot be attributed
with certainty.
