The Prime Minister of Uganda, Rt. Hon. Nabbanja Robinah, represented President Museveni as the Chief Guest at the occasion commemorating United Nations World Wildlife Day (WWD) at Kagorogoro Primary School grounds in Kyenjojo district.
World Wildlife Day is commemorated every year on March 3rd to celebrate wild animals and plants. Each year, we recognize the unique roles and contributions of wildlife to people and the planet.
In his message, the President stated that the day provides an opportunity to renew global commitment to sustaining the earth’s diverse wildlife population. He added that this day aims to mobilize people to participate in wildlife conservation and raise awareness about the benefits that accrue from the abundant God-given wildlife resources.
This year’s theme is ‘Connecting People and Planet, Exploring Digital Innovations in Wildlife Conservation.’
Wildlife remains Uganda’s biggest earner in the tourism sector, fetching over 90% of its earnings.
