1. The project aims to reduce deforestation in the Bugoma-Budongo forest corridor in Uganda using REDD+ incentives to conserve chimpanzee habitats and connective forests. 2. Key objectives include assessing the feasibility of carbon financing, strengthening land mapping capabilities, and empowering private forest owners to manage lands and access carbon payments. 3. Preliminary findings show the forest corridor stores 333-1045 tonnes of carbon per hectare and provides socioeconomic benefits but is threatened by deforestation, which the project aims to reduce by half.

5. How much tCO2e is there? Average: 333 tCO2e/ha Max: 1045 tCO2e/ha Min: 95 tCO2e/ha Assessment of the availability of carbon in the landscape from plot measurements of trees.

6. To assess whether key landscape species are using the forest corridors at present To assess the distribution and relative abundance of threatened species in this landscape. To assess human induced threats to conservation targets

8. Land Use & Land Cover Change Analysis In total, the forests in the landscape outside the forest reserves cover some 122,867 hectares ranging in size from 4 ha to 3,400 ha . This excludes 120,000ha of woodland Land cover from LANDSAT images of 2010
