Wetlands are lungs and kidneys of our environment. They are homes to wild animals including Uganda’s national bird, the Uganda crane. The health of wetlands is crucial to our own existence and that of wildlife. However, Uganda loses about 293sqkm of wetlands every year which puts the survival of wetlands and therefore, our own survival in jeopardy. Under Section 54 of the National Environment Act, wetlands must be conserved for the common good of the people of Uganda. We all have a role to play to conserve wetlands. At Help African Animals, we are committed to raising awareness about wetland conservation.
