 Chris Sandbrook is a geographer with interests in conservation, development and
tourism. He carried out his PhD research in Buhoma, evaluating the
social, economic and environmental impacts of gorilla-tracking tourism
at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. After completing his thesis he returned to the area to establish Bwindi Advanced Market Gardeners' Association (AMAGARA), a co-operative of local farmers producing vegetables to supply the tourism industry in the area. During his nearly two years in Buhoma, Chris lived next door to Bwindi Community Hospital, and has watched the centre grow from a mobile clinic under a tree to its impressive current status. He continues to be closely involved with BCH in an advisory capacity, and visits Buhoma regularly. |
