The forestation activity provides a secured workplace and source of income for over 600 people which enables them to enjoy a living standard above the Ugandan average. That includes appropriate housing, access to medical services and school education. In cooperation with Germany, the project has initiated a community forestry program to train people of the neighbouring villages in tree-planting. For the start phase 200.000 seedlings where provided free of charge to these people, which are still under permanent assistance and support of a company forester.

To protect rare species and regenerate natural habitats the project has set aside a significant part of the area for conservation purposes. Animals such as antelopes, monkeys and countless bird species have found a refuge there. By providing timber for the local market, the project is an important factor to reduce pressure of illegal logging in natural forest in Uganda, Congo and Sudan.
