Our community wildlife talk was a success

We successfully traveled to Kyaanya village in Nakaseke district of Uganda where we educated rural people about conserving wildlife that they live with in their community. Nakaseke district is one of the areas in Uganda that is outside the protected areas. Animals there live on private land with people. Kyaanya is one of the notorious hunting communities in the district of Nakaseke. Rural people were surprised to learn that it is unlawful to hunt and kill wildlife that lives with them on their land. Most of them were not even aware that wildlife serves any importance to them or the nation if conserved.

The community wildlife talk enabled us to educate rural people and hence save the lives of animals that would be killed them. We are driven by the belief that unless rural people understand why wildlife must be conserved, they will not help to conserve the same. Help African Animals is committed to saving lives of animals living in Uganda.
