Uganda faces huge environmental challenges = such as=20 deforestation, agriculture intensification and other human threats to = endangered=20 primates such as chimpanzees and mountain gorillas.
JGI Uganda works with local schools and = communities=20 in areas where prime chimpanzee habitats are found in order to increase=20 awareness about environmental issues.
The main objectives of the workshop are:
- Introduce participants (25 =96 30 teachers) to environmental = education=20
- Explore a variety of effective teaching methods
- Familiarize participants with the Teachers Guide
- Supply participants with basic facilitation skills
- Equip attendees to train other teachers
- To take participants into the forest

In order to = cover the=20 operational costs of the workshop, each team (two teachers) of Canadian = teachers=20 must raise $US 5,000.00 prior to departure. The first workshop took = place in=20 July 2008 and based its success; a second group went in March 2009 and = two more=20 teams traveled to Uganda in July 2009 to train even more teachers about = the=20 importance of environmental education.
