CONSERVATION THROUGH PUBLIC HEALTH

Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH) promotes biodiversity conservation by enabling people, gorillas and other wildlife to coexist through improving their health and community livelihoods in and around Africa's protected areas. CTPH has three integrated programs: wildlife health and conservation, community health, and alternative livelihoods implemented through service delivery, education and behavior change communication, research, advocacy, social enterprises and information, communication, and technology (ICT). CTPH champions a One Health and conservation or integrated Population, Health and Environment (PHE) approach that addresses human, animal, and ecosystem health together. CTPH's work primarily focuses on critically endangered gorillas at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and other protected areas in Africa where gorillas naturally occur. We also train and advocate for other organizations to adopt our One Health model in savannah and mountain ecosystems in Uganda.
