Since 2003, JGI has initiated similar projects in the largely pristine Masito-Ugalla Ecosystem south of Gombe National Park, in the Maiko-Tayna-Kahuzi-Biega Landscape in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, at the Tchimpounga Reserve in the Republic of the Congo, and at JGI’s new Mount Otzi Program in Uganda. Supporters of JGI’s efforts include the U.S. Agency for International Development, foundations, as well as other donors with in-kind technological contributions.

In 2006, JGI built on twelve years of experience with the TACARE program to design a larger and more comprehensive conservation initiative focused on restoring forest around Gombe. The Greater Gombe Ecosystem program blends TACARE community projects with conservation and land-use planning facilitated by geographic information systems mapping and analysis. It’s an exciting initiative: JGI scientists meet with villagers, and together they pore over satellite maps and discuss how the forest has dwindled over the decades, how wildlife and people use the land now, and what might be the best use of given areas—including conservation—in the future.
