The Budongo Conservation Field Station (BCFS) is a Ugandan NGO based in the Budongo forest in Western Uganda within the Albertine Rift ecoregion. The station is focussed on research, wildlife conservation and community engagement.

BCFS carries out research with several international partners including the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. The BCFS work has been instrumental in the conservation of the forest and in influencing primate research and conservation in Uganda.
