Over 50 District Comm's officers visit Queen Elizabeth CA to learn about UWA’s conservation work

Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) convened communication officers from local governments for a two-day experiential learning program in the Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area (QECA). The engagement aimed at strengthening collaboration, enhancing information sharing, and improving joint conservation efforts among districts surrounding national parks and protected areas. Participants explored UWA’s conservation work firsthand — from habitat restoration and human-wildlife conflict mitigation to community conservation and livelihood support initiatives. The team also experienced a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel and visited communities benefiting from the 126 km electric fence that has greatly reduced elephant incursions. This initiative highlights UWA’s continued commitment to working closely with local governments to foster coexistence between people and wildlife, promote accurate conservation storytelling, and strengthen Uganda’s conservation agenda.
