The Uganda Conservation Foundation (UCF) is the first and only UK based charity to focus on Ugandan conservation efforts after years of extreme civil conflict and poaching. UCF's objectives : The conservation and preservation, for the benefit of the public, of the natural environment and the flora and fauna in any part of the world, in particular, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in Uganda. The activities of the charity are:

• To help provide practical support to conserve and revitalise areas of natural habitat and improve urban areas for the benefit of wildlife and communities.
• To encourage, stimulate and support efforts in the betterment, recovery and future security of Uganda’s wildlife, natural resources and environment.
• To unite the needs of the Uganda people with that of conservation development objectives for the benefit of both.
• To be involved in long term, proactive, realistic and practical projects, especially those that take opportunity to advance Uganda’s capability and prospects through employment, education, activities and research.
• To collaborate, cooperate and support other agencies and organisations with mutual objectives, although will focus in areas receiving little or no NGO emphasis.

As the foundation develops, it will look for projects to support. They are currently directing resources to projects in Uganda. The charity is entirely dependant on private donations and the co-operation of their sponsors.
