This approach allowed us to delve into the social implications of the #30x30 project in an engaging way. Truly inspiring to be part of initiatives that aim to make a positive impact on our environment. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute! @SNAPPartnership Chris Sandbrook

Uganda understands better than the other countries the importance of biodiversity, not only because of ecosystem services, but also as the main source of the 1.5b from tourism, the highest foreign exchange earner for the country today. #biodiversity #tourism #ecosystem #Uganda

For over 25 years, NatureUganda has been monitoring vultures in both protected and non-protected areas. Sadly, the population in Uganda continues to decline due to poisoning, killing for traditional beliefs etc. 6/7 of species found in Uganda are globally threatened (IUCN)

#COP28 brings attention to the pressing matter of #climate change. In Uganda, our focus is primarily on adaptation efforts. While vital, we must strive to integrate mitigation more seamlessly into our activities. COP28 UAE goes virtual too, I urge all who can to attend. 🌍
