The Kibale Forest Wild Coffee Project seeks to develop a brand of coffee to be sold in the U.S. for the purpose of raising money to conserve the rainforest ecosystem that is home to robusta coffee (Coffea canephora). This project allows villagers from communities near Uganda's Kibale National Park to harvest wild coffee growing in the multiple use zones of the Park. Previously, local residents harvested wild coffee illegally and without supervision. Now their activities are under a program that is monitored and certified by KRAV to ensure that coffee is removed in an ecologically sustainable fashion. The Kibale Forest Foundation (KFF), a U.S.-based non-profit, works with “eco-roasters” to sell “The Wild Coffee Project” blends. Because the allowable harvest of certified wild and organic coffee is so small (about one ton per year), these blends contain only a token amount of wild coffee. The rest of the blend contains quality arabica coffees. KFF will devote all its income to the conservation of Kibale Forest, and to the sustainable development of local communities nearby. Project supporters have included USAID, The Global Environment Facility, The World Bank, and the Ford Foundation.
