We are the ATCF

We Need a New Website

We are seeking a passionate and skilled volunteer to help design and develop a new website that embodies our mission to protect and conserve natural and cultural heritage through responsible travel. As our Web Development Volunteer, you'll play a vital role in enhancing ATCF’s online presence to better engage members, showcase grant winners, and share impactful stories of conservation. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in web design, SquareSpace, WordPress, and content management, who is motivated to make a difference and contribute to meaningful global conservation efforts. If you are interested, please contact Soraya by November 30th.


Protecting People & Mountain Gorillas

“Receiving this grant from the Adventure Travel Conservation Fund will enable us to strengthen our education campaign that is reducing zoonotic disease transmission between people and gorillas and bringing about desired behavior change through a community-driven One Health model at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. We are very excited to receive this funding, which will improve the protection of almost half (43%) of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas by improving the health of their human neighbours through our work at Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH). Thank you so much for all the great support.”

Dr Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, CTPH Founder and CEO
