NatureUganda has been at the forefront of conserving species and their habitats for over 20 years. Guided by our mission to promote the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of nature, we aim at safeguarding species and the ecosystems they depend on.

NatureUganda, together with BirdLife Partners in Africa, is developing Species Action Plans targeting species where conservation at a single site is not sufficient. These plans focus on globally threatened species with scattered, wide-ranging, or cross-boundary populations. Many of these species are migratory, and key stopover sites for these migrations have been identified as Important Bird Areas (IBAs).

One of the flagship events we organize is the Uganda Big Birding Day. This aims to:

• Update Uganda’s national bird species list.
• Unite stakeholders in the tourism sector.
• Brand Uganda as a premier destination for avian tourism.
• Promote awareness of the critical role birds play in our ecosystems.
