Saving gorillas. Empowering farmers. Making a better world.
Gorilla Conservation Coffee has been at the forefront of integrating social development with wildlife conservation. By working with coffee farmers living around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Gorilla Conservation Coffee is directly reducing pressure on the habitat of the mountain gorillas.
Coffee farming around Bwindi
Bwindi is known for two main things: its gorillas, and its coffee. Coffee farming has been a major employment vehicle for people living around the parks periphery, but local residents have had to poach wildlife to survive, and gorillas have been caught in the crossfire.
Gorillas - under threat
Gorillas living around Bwindi have been impacted by two major issues - poaching and gorilla/human conflict. Gorillas have been injured by hunter's snares, and have gotten sick from illnesses from man. This has reduced the mountain gorillas population over time.
Working together for a better future
The lives of the people and gorillas of Bwindi are intrinsically linked. By boosting incomes of the farmers and working to protect the home of the gorillas, both can have a more prosperous future.
