Environmentally friendly community-based enterprises
September 2003, Bwindi -Fresh mushrooms are sold locally, while dried mushrooms are packed and labelled locally and sold in the main cities of Kabale and Kampala. The mushroom business provides an alternative income and therefore indirectly reduces pressure on the park by replacing destructive income activities such as timber cutting, poaching and gold mining. 
Cultivation and sale of oyster mushrooms has reduced the illegal harvest from the park. The producers make an average of US$10 in additional income a month per household from this activity.
