In today’s national celebrations of World Wildlife Day in Uganda, our very own Gladys Kamasanyu was given an award for her outstanding contribution to wildlife conservation in Uganda. Gladys is the founder of Help African Animals and a magistrate at the Uganda Wildlife Court, the only specialized wildlife court in Africa. She was involved in the establishment of the court. Gladys has fearlessly adjudicated over many wildlife cases involving illicit wildlife products like elephant ivory, pangolin scales, live pangolins, hippopotamus teeth and others, forestry, and fish cases. We are grateful that the government of Uganda recognizes Gladys’ contribution in the fight against wildlife crime.
