  • Gender and exposure pathways to zoonotic infections in communities at the interface of wildlife conservation areas of Uganda

    Open AccessCollins Agaba, Laura Ferguson et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2025

    The changing climate and increasingly frequent environmental shocks are creating new pressures on land use and intensifying inter-species contact that might foster zoonotic disease transmission. In areas where there are complex interactions between wild/domestic animals and humans, preventing and managing zoonotic infections requires an integrated One Health approach based on interdisciplinary and multisectoral collaboration. We used a One Health…

  • The impact of tourist visits on mountain gorilla behavior in Uganda

    Raquel Costa, Rafaela S C Takeshita et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ecotourism2024

    Tourism can play a significant role in the conservation of mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) by financing the protection of their habitat, but few systematic studies have focused on the impacts of tourist presence on gorilla behavior. We assessed stress-coping mechanisms (Prosocial behaviors), behavioral indicators of stress (Self-scratching), and Human-directed behavior, in the presence and absence of tourist groups visiting one grou…

  • Tourist expectations and satisfaction in mountain gorilla tourism in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda

    Ryoma OTSUKA, Gen Yamakoshi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ecotourism2023

    Sustainable tourism plays a pivotal role in the conservation of endangered mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei); however, few studies have investigated tourist expectations and satisfaction from a tourism management perspective. We conducted a questionnaire survey (N = 303) from December 2019 to January 2020 in Bwindi, Uganda, and measured tourists’ expectations and satisfaction of 21 specific aspects on 5-point Likert scale. We also col…

  • Protecting great apes from disease

    Open AccessAna Nuno, Chloe Chesney et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    The emergence of infectious diseases, such as COVID‐19, impacts livelihood strategies and conservation tools reliant on human‐wildlife interactions, such as wildlife‐based tourism and research. This is particularly relevant to great ape conservation, as humans and great apes are susceptible to being infected by similar pathogens. Evidence‐based strategies are required to prevent infectious disease transmission to great apes and people involved in…

  • Mitigating Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Gorilla Conservation

    Open AccessGladys Kalema-Zikusoka, Gladys Kalema‐Zikusoka et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    The COVID-19 pandemic, affecting all countries, with millions of cases and deaths, and economic disruptions due to lockdowns, also threatens the health and conservation of endangered mountain gorillas. For example, increased poaching due to absence of tourism income, led to the killing on 1st June 2020 of a gorilla by a hungry community member hunting duiker and bush pigs. Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH), a grassroots NGO and non-profit…

  • Lack of Rule-Adherence During Mountain Gorilla Tourism Encounters in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, Places Gorillas at Risk From Human Disease

    Open AccessAnnalisa Weber, Annalisa D Weber et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) are an endangered primate species, with approximately 40% of the 1000 individuals that remain on the planet today residing in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP) in southwestern Uganda. These primates are at the heart of a growing tourism industry that has incentivized their continued protection, but close proximity between humans and gorillas during such encounters presents well-documented risks…

  • Informing the future of capacity building

    Tricia Petruney, Aurélie Brunie et al.ARTICLEDevelopment in Practice2014Referencias: 8

    Despite a recent surge in popularity, critical gaps remain in effectively building the capacity of organisations through global development projects. Two non-governmental organisations, FHI 360 and Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH), established a partnership focused on strengthening CTPH's organisational capacity to conduct high quality monitoring and evaluation and to effectively advocate for integrated population, health, and environmen…
