Semliki National Park is connected to other areas rich in wildlife through the Semliki corridor. Poaching in this area was a huge problem in 2011, so the most urgent need at the time was to fund equipment for anti-poaching patrols, which we promptly did.

As per a report published in 2010 ("Conservation of Biodiversity in the Albertine Rift Forests of Uganda", Grace Nangendo, Andrew Plumptre and Simon Akwetaireho), the Murchison-Semliki landscape is part of the Albertine rift valley, an area known to host a large numbers of endemic plant and animal species. Some animal species, such as the chimpanzee, occur at low densities in any given forest or savannah block.
A savannah/woodland species corridor stretches along the rift valley and escarpment slopes. A forest species corridor - above the escapement and mainly in remaining riverine forests - connects forested areas within the landscape. It covers 15,576 ha, whereas the savannah/woodland species corridor covers 19,919 ha. Of the entire length of the identified corridors, 45.3 km were located in farmland and 101.1 km were located in depleted tropical high forest. These are the two land cover classes where most of the corridor restoration work would need to be carried out.
The identified corridors would increase animal movement between the otherwise isolated populations to prevent local extinctions, maintain genetic diversity and stability in populations and maintain ecological processes.

Unfortunately, shortly after the start of collaboration the project lead left, and it was impossible at the time to establish a follow-up connection with the successors, which had not yet been determined. Therefore, the project had to be discontinued at our end.
