Our strategy

We are mobilizing people to utilize natural resources and the natural environment as borrowed from their grand children contrally to the current wasteful trend where resources are used as inherited from grand parents. We are persuaded that people are more careful with borrowed property than is the case with inherited property.


For those who reverence God, we promote the message of stewardship before the creator.

Amphibian project attracts global attention

Hi all,
Its been a lot of silence but a lot is going on here at CEF. First, the amphibian project in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is in progress with funding from USAID through WCS and ITFC. Mr. Sekisambu attended the first ever herpetology training workshop and amphibian survey organized by WCS and facilitated by among others Michele Menegon a renown herpetologist between  November and December 2010 in Nyungwe National Park Rwanda.  

Excitingly, the project has already come up with 2 amphibian species that had never been recorded for Bwindi INP but that is just the beginning.  We are getting to sites never visited by any herpetologist in Uganda's history.  Amphibian web's Africa amphibian working group has already offered to identify the amphibians using photos that shall be uploaded on our flikr account (frogs of Uganda). Preliminary results are to be presented soon  at ITFC and Makerere university to coincide with 'Save the Frogs day in April 2011.  Wait for your e- invite.

In addition, our article 'Frogs worried about the future' posted on ITFC official website (www.itfc.org) and Bwindi researchers' blog has already attracted world attention with over 70 responses from several countries within one week. Bye for now and God bless you

Whispers of nature

Whispers of nature are heard in our ears everyday, along with praises to the creator. It is written, every thing that has breath praise the Lord. Then cries and warnings of mis management, landslides, species extinction, global warming and wide spread pollution fueled by greed and selfishness. "Shall we ever listen and act accordingly?"
