ERuDeF Rwanda is a conservation and rural development organization dedicated to protecting Rwanda’s most critical ecosystems while supporting communities that depend on them.
We focus on practical, long-term solutions that balance nature conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods.
The Albertine Rift Valley is one of Africa’s richest biodiversity hotspots and home to endangered species such as the mountain gorilla. Yet, it faces growing threats from climate change, land degradation, and human pressure.
Our work protects:
Forests and wildlife habitats
Water catchments and soils
Community livelihoods and cultural heritage
Preventing soil erosion and improving productivity through land consolidation and terracing.
Empowering students and communities with knowledge to protect nature.
Reforesting degraded landscapes and restoring wetlands.
Promoting community-led, responsible tourism that benefits conservation.
Protecting nature works best when we work together.
