Conducting Research, Giving Back, & Getting Involved
Kibale National Park offers amazing forests, exceptionally high biodiversity, and welcoming people, making it an incredible location to engage in research. The field station located here makes this research logistically easy and helps give back in every way possible. The field station additionally fosters a collaborative and enjoyable working environment, and this is something we work hard to maintain.
If you are either interested in research in Kibale or interested in long-term data sets, please reach out.
We would like to avoid situations such as students from different universities starting similar projects at the same time, a researcher starting a project that has already been completed but not yet published, repeatedly interviewing local community members about the same topic, etc. Collaborating from the beginning of projects can be very rewarding.
First and foremost reach out to David Tumusiime (tumusid@yahoo.com) and Patrick Omeja (Omejap@yahoo.com). You can learn more about their background on the “People Involved” page. A few other people we might suggest reaching out to are the following:
