Protecting Uganda’s Natural Wonders

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.

Some of Uganda’s prime attractions include at least 400 mountain gorillas that are found in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park Uganda and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park Uganda, wild game species like tree climbing lions found in Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park Uganda, bush elephants, cape buffaloes, the Nile crocodiles, numerous hippos that can be found in the Kazinga waters in Queen Elizabeth, Nile waters in Murchison Falls National Park Uganda, Narus Valley in Kidepo Valley National Park Uganda. 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;

to streamline roles and responsibilities for institutions in wildlife conservation and management, and for other related matters

The new law comes with significant reforms transforming wildlife conservation in Uganda and the highlights in the new law include:

1. Community participation in wildlife management strengthened through Community Wildlife Committees for each Protected Area

Introduces up to life sentence and a fine of UGX 20Billion or both for wildlife crime involving endangered species
Reforms revenue sharing program into conditional grants to communities
Introduces compensation for wildlife induced damage outside protected areas
Promotes commercialization of wildlife on private land through sustainable utilization
Domesticated CITES implementation in Uganda.
