Welcome to Save Wildlife Uganda
Mission StatementAbout Us
Save Wildlife Uganda is a nonprofit organization. Our goal is to promote sustainable conservation of biodiversity and enhance community livelihoods.
History
The March, 2021 intentional poisoning of six of Uganda’s tree-climbing lions was not only a crime against the country’s natural heritage and to those members of the local community that realize the value of wildlife, but also to the tourism industry, which was already reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 lockdowns. We are pleased that justice prevailed knowing that two men have been tried, convicted and are serving 8 1/2 years in prison.
Since that time, we’ve opened a Community Centre and Simba Cafe, and expanded our projects within the Ishasha and Kahendero Communities to include our Lights for Lions Deterrent System, Women for Conservation, Traps to Treasures, Project for Vulnerable Children Scholarship, Clean Water Project, and Compensation for Lost Livestock.
