Through Eco Tourism, the openness of the population is hightend for issues of nature conservation. Tourists come to enjoy unspoiled nature; if destroyed they go elsewhere.

In Uganda, for example, gorillas and chimpanzees attract on average 20,000 visitors per year. Permits to visit gorillas (at US$500 per visit) and chimpanzees (at US$ 70) brought in US$ 4.7 million dollars in the year 2007 alone.

With hotels and other services, over 70,000 jobs have been created, putting tourism at number one in Uganda’s foreign exchange earnings.

Gorilla and chimpanzee tourism has brought into the country on average approximately US$ 300 million dollars per year.

The communities living around the national parks where apes are visited also benefit from a revenue sharing scheme.

To date, over 181 community projects in form of clinics, schools, community centres, bridges, roads, local community camp sites, maize mills, water project, among others have been built from ‘gorilla and chimpanzee money’.

The remaining Nature and Wildlife, that are still existend today, can only be preserved by commercializing nature conservation. WILD PLANET ECOPROJECT is taking a critical and self-critical stand in this regard. Which means, we don’t suggest an ideal world, but make you aware of problems and issues. The tourist portion of WILD PLANET TOURISM is a commercial business, yet has charitable aspects with regards to the corresponding project parts.

We offer daytrip Safaris, rain forest excursions, multi-day tours and packages with emphasis on nature and nature preservation.
