UNITE (Uganda and North Carolina International Teaching for the Environment)
UNITE, the NC Zoo's conservation education and teacher training 
project in Uganda, has been working for almost ten years for the preservation of wildlife in and around Kibale National Park. Coordinated by Carolyn Brown of the NC Zoo’s Education Department, UNITE is committed to conserving wild areas in and around Kibale National Park by promoting environmentally sound attitudes, knowledge and skills of people living in the area. The UNITE project works with local schools around the national park to help teachers develop an environmental curriculum. The project trains teachers, provides teaching materials
and builds schools in the villages which surround Kibale. By promoting environmental and conservation education we are helping to build the next generation of conservationists in Uganda. UNITE is currently working to establish a permanent NC Zoo presence on the ground in Uganda. This will allow UNITE to conduct its education and teacher training activities in throughout the year, enabling even greater levels of support for Ugandan teachers.
