Uganda’s protected areas are losing ground to invasive vegetation, threatening wildlife habitats, community livelihoods, and the national conservation priorities MCCA was built to serve.
Unchecked invasive plants degrade grazing land, displace native species, and reduce the habitat quality Uganda’s wildlife depends on. It spreads faster than parks can respond.
LEARN FACTS
As habitats shrink, wildlife moves into farmland and settlements. Communities near protected areas absorb the cost, crop loss, safety risk, lost income, with few alternatives.
LEARN FACTS
Degraded landscapes lose their capacity to absorb and retain water, compounding drought and flood risk. Restoration is no longer just biodiversity, it is climate resilience.
LEARN FACTSHabitat recovery is not achieved with one intervention. MCCA combines site assessments, chemical removal, long-term monitoring, and community livelihoods so restoration holds.
MCCA was founded in 2025 to address a gap we kept seeing across Uganda’s tourist sites: invasive plants degrading habitat, and no structured, evidence-based partner to remove them. Our strategy aligns directly with national conservation leadership and environmental authority standards, so every intervention advances national priorities, not our own.
Our evidence-based approach clears invasive growth and rebuilds habitat, working toward landscapes where wildlife can return.
90% of MCCA’s expenses go to field activities. With 76% of that spent on habitat restoration and species recovery, and 24% on community and climate programmes, and the remainder on operations and monitoring.
MCCA’s field work spans restoration sites across Uganda, delivered in partnership with park authorities, lodges, and local communities.
Park authorities, tourism operators, and lodges: contract MCCA as your habitat restoration partner. Site assessments, invasive removal, and long-term monitoring, delivered alongside your team, not independently.
Foundations, NGOs, and institutional funders: support evidence-based restoration with documented, measurable outcomes and direct alignment to Uganda’s national conservation priorities and standards.
Early-career conservationists and students: gain hands-on fieldwork experience across invasive vegetation removal, long-term site monitoring, community beekeeping, and wildlife-safe crop cultivation programmes.
