Kibale Association for Rural and Environmental Development (KAFRED) - Uganda (EN)

KAFRED is a community-based organization which aims to use ecotourism as a tool to promote biodiversity conservation outside Kibale Forest National Park for the benefit of adjacent communities.

In 2004, KAFRED won the Equator Prize which is awarded biennially to recognize outstanding community efforts to reduce poverty through the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. In 2010, in recognition of their outstanding work in the fields of community-based conservation, eco-tourism, and development, they won the Equator Prize for a second time.
