OUR CAUSES

Forest Conservation & Reforestation

Uganda faces a severe deforestation crisis, driven by agricultural expansion, charcoal production, and unsustainable land use. Forests, which are essential to climate regulation, water cycles, biodiversity, and rural livelihoods, continue to disappear at an alarming rate. As an NGO committed to environmental restoration and community empowerment, we propose a targeted, multi-faceted approach to forest conservation that balances ecological preservation with socio-economic development.

Water Conservation & Clean Water Access

ESSEI professionally follows maxims that ensure best practice. We identify risks and solve problems by offering tested and proven solutions based on experience in challenging environments.

WASTE PREVENTION & RECYCLING

Uganda is facing a growing waste crisis, driven by rapid urbanization, limited infrastructure, and the widespread use of non-biodegradable materials. Improper waste disposal continues to impact the environment, contaminate water sources, and create serious public health risks. In response, our NGO is committed to tackling this challenge through a holistic, community-based waste prevention strategy.

The science is clear. We must radically scale up our protection efforts around the world. It’s now or never. Our best hope for a healthy and resilient planet is to protect at least 30% of lands, fresh water and ocean by 2030.

Your Support Matters

ESSEI depends on donations, above and beyond what we raise from volunteers who participate in our expeditions to deliver our global conservation mission. In fact, volunteer contributions provide only half of the total resources ESSEI needs to sustain over 10 field research expeditions, a wide variety of ennvironmental conservation programs, educational programs, corporate sustainability trainings, and more each year.
