I had a wonderful chat with Bhanu Prakash Chandra from THE WEEK while in India where I was honored to give a keynote presentation at the T.N. Khoshoo Memorial Award and Lecture organised by the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment, in Bengaluru. I hope you enjoy our interview, particularly after celebrating World Wildlife Day on 3rd March. Read here: theweek.in/theweek/specia…

Happy International Women's Day! Cheers to the incredible women who grow Arabica coffee around the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and to the women who carefully sort and contribute to the production of #KanyonyiCoffee that we all enjoy.

Truly honored to be featured in My Green Pod Magazine as we celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day. The article explores how we are redefining wildlife protection through our work at Conservation Through Public Health. Many thanks to Neel Zaver, host of Our Altered World on UK Health Radio, for shining a spotlight on our conservation efforts with the mountain gorillas and local communities.

Support the women we work with today. Donate: ctph.org/ctph-donation-… #IWD2026 #InternationalWomensDay

Half of our Village Health and Conservation Team volunteers are women! Every investment in women has improved their lives as well as the lives of those around them, which in turn has helped the mountain gorillas!

Happy International Women's Day! Women are the backbone of the community. Supporting women is important to us because they have helped us to strengthen gorilla conservation while improving community health and livelihood outcomes.

#MountainGorilla protection is ongoing work. Your support strengthens community health, reduces disease risk towards the gorillas and other wildlife, and protects fragile ecosystems. Be part of this effort. Give today ctph.org/ctph-donation-… #WorldWildlifeDay #OneHealth

Sign up to receive our newsletter to learn more about how we use the proactive ONE HEALTH approach, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health, to save mountain gorillas. mailchi.mp/824dd5614e2f/2… #WorldWildlifeDay #WWD2026 #MountainGorillas #OneHealth

Engaging communities is crucial for the success of conservation efforts. When families have access to health services and sustainable income, pressure on forests decreases, and the mountain gorillas are safer.

Many of the greatest threats to wildlife are preventable. Disease transmission. Poaching. Habitat loss. Climate stress. CTPH strengthens community health & sustainable livelihoods to address these risks before they escalate. Support this work ctph.org/ctph-donation-… #WWD2026

This year’s World Wildlife Day theme reminds us that forests house medicinal and aromatic plants that sustain wildlife, support communities, regulate climate, and promote biodiversity. Help us continue our work and give to mountain gorillas today. ctph.org/ctph-donation-…

When we protect mountain gorillas, we protect more than a species. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a mountain gorilla habitat, is one of the most biologically rich forests in Africa.

Happy World Wildlife Day, from our Founder and CEO, Dr Gladys to you!

We will be exhibiting during the event alongside Gorilla Conservation Coffee. Stop by our booth to learn about how we promote mountain gorilla health together with community health. See you there! #WorldWildlifeDay #WWD2026 #MountainGorillas #OneHealth

Together with the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, and other partners, we will be celebrating the World Wildlife Day 2026 on 3rd March at the Entebbe Works Grounds!

Quizzes, poems, dance, and drama have been all part of the competition under the global theme: Medicinal & Aromatic Plants – Conserving Health, Heritage & Livelihoods! #WorldWildlifeDay #Wildlife #MountainGorillas

Conservation Through Public Health is proud to be a co-sponsor of this year's #WorldWildlifeDay interschool conservation competition at Lake Victoria School, Entebbe organised by the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities and Uganda Wildlife Authority.

Can wildlife tourism truly balance conservation, land rights, and profit? Following the recent case in the Maasai Mara, about a high end lodge allegedly being constructed in the path of the wildebeest migration, important questions had to be asked. I am grateful to Al Jazeera for creating space for this critical conversation, and I was honored to contribute to the discussion. Before tourism began in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, it was simply a forest that communities depended on for survival, often through activities that were not sustainable. There were no structured benefits. If ecotourism had not been introduced, it is unlikely that mountain gorillas would be thriving today. On top of creating jobs for the local communities and tourism revenue supporting operations of the National Park, 20% of the park entry fee and $10 from every gorilla permit is shared with the local communities. And local entrepreneurs and businesses have thrived. At Conservation Through Public Health, we believe conservation must never exclude communities. Through our One Health approach, local people are not treated as outsiders but as partners, stakeholders, and direct beneficiaries. This is a model I believe can and should be adapted globally. In my memoir, Walking with Gorillas, I dedicate a chapter titled “Is Tourism a Necessary Evil?” to exploring this issue. I invite you to watch the full conversation here: aljazeera.com/video/the-stre… #WalkingWithGorillas #ResponsibleTourism @AJStream

UWA greatly appreciates partners @ctph_camp. that have come through to support #UWHM2026 that is yet to take place this Sunday 1st March at Kitante Primary. Come one, come all.
