Management and Infrastructure

We carefully implement infrastructure ensuring minimal impact on the environment and wildlife, but maximum impact on our work output and the security of our staff. Proper management of our reserves is vital. Without reliable, high-quality infrastructure , most of our aims couldn’t be met and the forest would go unprotected.

Solar Electric Fence

Our solar powered electric fence prevents larger animals from leaving the reserve, ensuring personal and food security for people living closest to the bounadries. This is an ongoing project for which funding is required to fully enclose the protected area.

Roads

The road network is created in only the most necessary areas to reduce our footprint within the forest and is vital for the management of the park. Communities assist to open and maintain roads yearly, benefitting from the project and encouraging local co-operation.

Fire Management

Wild fires are extremely costly to forests as they degrade ecosystems by removing nutrients from the topsoil, killing wildlife and destroying vegetation. We develop and practice fire management plans which incorporate the burning of certain areas every two years. This helps to promote ecosystem health and vitality.
