1. The project aims to reduce deforestation in the Bugoma-Budongo forest corridor in Uganda using REDD+ incentives to conserve chimpanzee habitats and connective forests. 2. Key objectives include assessing the feasibility of carbon financing, strengthening land mapping capabilities, and empowering private forest owners to manage lands and access carbon payments. 3. Preliminary findings show the forest corridor stores 333-1045 tonnes of carbon per hectare and provides socioeconomic benefits but is threatened by deforestation, which the project aims to reduce by half.
