Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization with an innovative methodology that focuses on the interdependence of wildlife and human health in and around Africa’s protected areas. CTPH has three integrated strategic programs: Wildlife Conservation, Community Health and Alternative Livelihoods. Poverty alleviation and improving rural public health will contribute to greater biodiversity conservation and sustainable development in and around Africa’s protected areas. Bwindi National Park that forms part of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with almost half of the world’s gorilla population, approximately 320 mountain gorillas. Mountain gorillas are endangered and with only about 1,063 remaining in the wild, Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka asked herself how their extinction could be prevented. What resulted was the founding of Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH) with other concerned Ugandans.
