Uganda: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Score: 62

"Outstanding management of the National Park and the gorilla safari operations. The integration of the local communities is exceptional. Authentic local tours with involvement by many community members, with one big exception—the Pygmies are obviously segregated."

"Political threats and insecurity along the border compounded by efforts to promote high-end tourism (in contrast to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park). Park rangers deserve recognition for their efforts to educate tourists about mountain gorillas, and to protect the park's wildlife and natural environment."
