Help African Animals joins the rest of the world to commemorate the World Wetlands Day. This year’s theme is “Wetlands and Water” which highlights the contribution of wetlands to the quality and quantity of freshwater. Wetlands are a source of freshwater. Preserving wetlands therefore secures a brighter future for our planet. Let’s keep raising our voices to protect the wetlands.

The journey ahead of us
2020 was challenging but it proved that together we are stronger. The challenges it came with taught us the need to protect our wildlife more than ever. With your support we were able to meet our target. Lives of animals were saved. 2021 is here. It brings with it new opportunities. We still have a chance to make the world a better place not only for the animals but also for us. Together, let us keep raising our voices for animals.
Happy New Year
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.
Our next community wildlife talk
Our clients are innocent
Lives of animals and those of people matter
Rural people live in the same ecosystem with wildlife. Unless they are involved in conservation, all conservation efforts are in vain. Help African Animals is determined to travel to rural areas in Uganda and educate rural people about conserving wildlife in their communities. We are driven by the belief that unless rural people understand the importance of the wildlife with whom they live, they will not care to conserve them.
