Uganda is a hotbed for a rich biodiversity in terms of nature given its classic natural attractions such as over 120 mammal species found in many of its 10 national parks and wildlife reserves like Queen Elizabeth National Park,Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale National Park,Lake Mburo National Park,Kidepo Valley National Park, Rwenzori Mountain National Park,Mountain Elgon National Park and Semuliki National Park.

Uganda is blessed with close to 1060 bird species which include endemic species like the great blue turaco, shoebill stork, the green breast pitta.

In order to protect many of these attractions, the Uganda parliament passed the UGANDA WILDLIFE BILL 2019 which has now been signed into law by the president of Uganda.

The objective of the bill is to provide for the conservation and sustainable management of wildlife; to strengthen wildlife conservation and management; to continue the Uganda Wildlife Authority;
