As someone who works closely with the media, I have seen firsthand the critical role journalists and storytellers play in advancing conservation.

Today, unidentified community members blocked the road in Wanale to prevent @ugwildlife and other security personnel from attending a meeting with Mbale district leaders to discuss issues relating to the boundary of Mt Elgon National Park.
Not nice!

Happy 64th Independence Day, Uganda! 🦍🐘🌿
As Uganda celebrates 64 years of independence, we honour our rich natural heritage and renew our commitment to protecting the wildlife and ecosystems that make our nation unique.
From the mighty elephants to the magnificent mountain gorillas, our wildlife is a national treasure worth preserving for generations to come. Together, let us conserve today for a greener, thriving tomorrow. 🇺🇬

One of Uganda’s most remarkable wildlife spectacles. A tree climbing lion resting high in the branches in Ishasha Queen Elizabeth National Park. Moments like this remind us why Uganda’s wild places are truly special and worth protecting for generations.

Before You Travel Abroad, Before searching for wildlife experiences in another country, ask yourself: How much of Uganda have I actually explored?
Open Park Days are a beautiful reminder that domestic tourism begins with curiosity about home.

Make a Memory With the Family, Forget another weekend at home.
Put the children in the car and take them somewhere they can see wildlife with their own eyes. The best classroom sometimes has no walls.

The award speaks to more than performance; it reflects the discipline, professionalism, respect and sportsmanship that define Team UWA.
Proud of our team for representing the Authority with distinction, both on and off the field.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to address Team UWA following their participation in the 18th Edition of the Interforces Games. I was joined by the Chief Warden, Murchison Falls Conservation Area, Afande Fredrick Kayanja.
I congratulated the team for representing UWA with commitment, discipline and determination. Beyond competition, sport builds teamwork, resilience and institutional pride; qualities that are equally important in our conservation mandate.
Well done, Team UWA. Let us keep raising the flag of @ugwildlife high, on and off the field. 🇺🇬💪🏾
