Albert Nile – Murchison Falls Ecosystem
ARR-Project – Nwoya District in Uganda
A long-term Private Partnership with the owners of the properties in Uganda
as part of the PERFUTURO Forest Reserve Uganda Ltd.
Project objectives
Protect key endangered species such as rhinos, elephants, buffalos, Uganda kob, and lions by establishing a 50 km biodiversity corridor connecting Murchison Falls National Park, Ajai Wildlife Reserve, and East Madi Wildlife Reserve. This will enable safe wildlife migration and reduce human-wildlife conflict.
Sequester 1,000,000 tons of CO₂ over 35 years by restoring degraded land, contributing to both global and Uganda’s national climate goals through increased above- and below-ground carbon storage.
Increase household income by at least 50 % within 10 years for 4,700 inhabitants across the 10,000 hectares project area through income-generating activities such as forest products, fruit trees, beekeeping, ecotourism, biochar production, and access to the carbon market. The project will also strengthen the local community.
Scale up precision and transparency in tree and CO₂ data using TREEO technology, delivering the highest data quality while addressing current measurement and verification gaps

Long-term vision
In Uganda, the project aims to create long-term impact over 35 years in biodiversity, climate resilience, livelihoods, and the local economy. Initially covering 10,000 hectares, it seeks to engage more communities, government stakeholders, and civil society to scale up restoration efforts in the northern region to as much as 50,000 hectares.
