What is the Semliki Valley Conservation Project (SVCP)?
The SVCP aims to work with local stakeholders to protect and restore the TSWR, a delicate, biologically diverse ecosystem in need of improved conservation strategies and community support. Through better protection, improved ecosystem conservation and increased socioeconomic development in the region, the Semliki Valley Conservation Project aims to preserve the habitat while simultaneously decreasing the dependence of local communities on the reserves natural resources. The project has the twin objectives of maximizing the ecological potential of the TSWR and ensuring that those most affected by the health and well being of the ecosystem in the area will have a vested interest in its success.
