Nyundo Community Eco Trails

Nyundo Community Eco Trail: Residents of Nyundo witnessed climate change firsthand. Although they had observed changes in the rain pattern, soil erosion, and forest mist, the locals continued to cultivate on the steep hillside of the impenetrable forest of Bwindi. The plants started to deteriorate.

In reaction to this, the Nyundo community created a project to save the area. Since the Nyundo community made the decision to preserve the land and let the forest flourish, the trees have grown back and the mist has returned to Nyundo.

Explore the neighborhood and learn how the locals deal with daily life. Acquire various techniques such as producing ghee crafts, making millet bread, and making yogurt the indigenous way. See how the traditional birth attendant and the local doctor serve patients in their own way.

Get an opportunity to engage with the nearby villages. In addition to your planned activities, you will get the chance to stroll along the Congo’s border and take in the stunning waterfall scenery at the King’s Bathe location, which is exclusive to the kings.

You will see banana plantations, cattle farms, beekeepers, and blacksmiths along the road. In order to preserve the forest, the project focuses on improving by maintaining agriculture, lowering poaching, and generating revenue.

Those who have given up their land to allow the forest to repopulate are paid by the tourism industry. The project offers a variety of services that support and sustain adult literacy instruction.

Increasing revenue to support and stand by the members is one way to assist our effort. There were many people in the community, including farmers, children, healers, performers, and those with traditional abilities.
