Description
The organisation Conservation through Public Health (CTPH) is a Ugandan based non-governmental organisation. Their mission is to promote conservation and public health by improving primary health care to people and animals in and around protected areas in Africa, mainly Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. It is their philosophy that an important factor in protecting the endangered mountain gorillas is to reduce the disease transmission from humans to gorillas. Their program is based on three pillars; monitoring of gorilla health, monitoring and remedy of tuberculoses (TB) and sensitizing the communities living close to the mountain gorillas about the possibilities and prevention methods of disease transmission.
