Pian Upe is a national asset in active restoration. The work is real, the progress is measurable, and the need for continued investment is clear. Every contribution, philanthropic, institutional, or a visit, supports a reserve, a partnership, the communities of Karamoja, and a model that matters far beyond its borders.
One donation,
four priorities.
Your donation directly supports the restoration of Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve through four interconnected priorities.
Rangeland monitoring, habitat restoration, and the science-led management systems that guide long-term ecological recovery.
Ranger training and deployment, vehicles and patrol equipment, law enforcement operations, and the infrastructure that makes effective protection possible.
Carbon baseline development, tourism readiness, and the long-term sustainability planning that will reduce reliance on donor funding.
Employment pathways, schools programmes, healthcare access, human-wildlife conflict mitigation, and the community enterprise development that makes conservation locally relevant.
Donations to Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve are managed through Space for Giants, a registered conservation organisation committed to transparency, accountability, and impact reporting.

The most direct
way to help.
Coming to Pian Upe is one of the most direct ways to support the reserve. Visitor fees contribute to the reserve's operational budget and UWA's institutional conservation mandate, spending in local communities generates direct economic benefit, and the presence of engaged visitors reinforces the case for conservation as a viable economic model for Karamoja.
