JOB DETAILS:
Fauna & Flora International
Fauna & Flora International (FFI) saves species from extinction and habitats from destruction, whilst improving the livelihoods of local people. Our guiding principles are to work with and alongside local partnerships, act as a catalyst for change, make conservation relevant and base decisions on sound science. Founded in 1903, FFI is the world’s longest-established international conservation body; our conservation work, and impact, spans the globe.

Uganda Programme
FFI has been working in Uganda, supporting local partners to protect key habitats and species, for over a century, establishing a formal country programme and an office in Kampala in 2010.
Through our work in Uganda, we have piloted an innovative approach to protected area management that demonstrated how cultural values could be integrated in order to improve outcomes both for conservation and the well-being of communities. We’ve also helped to establish community-conserved areas on the western fringes of Lake Victoria that link up with national legislation to formally protect areas that are important for communities while also safeguarding the biodiversity found.

Today, our work in Uganda focuses on building on our successes with mountain gorillas, through the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP), and community-based restoration of ecological corridors between chimpanzee forests blocks in Uganda’s Albertine Rift. Additionally, we are establishing some scoping work related to pangolin conservation.
