Conservation in Uganda information


Signage for a cultural tourism walk, near the International Gorilla Conservation Programme

Conservation in Uganda is the protection and sustainable use of the country's rich natural resources. It became a significant movement during the British colonial period in the early 20th century and continues to play a major role in Uganda's political economy, as it underpins the tourism industry which accounts for 23.5% of the country's exports.[1]

Uganda's 60 conservation protected areas harbor populations of numerous critically endangered species.
