SUMMARY:Public Talk on High-Integrity Nature Markets
DESCRIPTION:NatureUganda in collaboration with Plan Vivo Foundation will host a public dialogue on 6 August 2026 to discuss “Plan Vivo Standards: Shaping Nature Markets to Achieve High-Integrity Nature-Positive Outcomes.” \nThe event will be held physically at Hotel Africana\, Kampala and virtually via Zoom\, starting at 2:00pm\, bringing together conservation practitioners\, government representatives\, civil society organisations\, researchers\, and members of the public from across East Africa and beyond. \nThe dialogue aims to raise awareness of the two Plan Vivo Standards: \n\nPV Nature – The Biodiversity Standard\nPV Climate – The Carbon Standard\n\nParticipants will gain insights into the requirements\, methodologies\, and certification pathways of the standards\, while exploring how community-centred conservation projects can access emerging biodiversity and carbon markets. \nAs global interest in nature-positive investments grows\, there is increasing demand for standards that deliver credible environmental outcomes while ensuring that local communities benefit directly from conservation efforts. \nThe Plan Vivo Standards are widely recognised among the highest-integrity standards for community-based conservation and climate projects worldwide. The public talk will examine how these standards incentivise and empower Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities to conserve and restore biodiversity while generating tangible benefits for people\, nature\, and the climate. \nDiscussions will also compare lessons from the established carbon credit market with opportunities emerging in the biodiversity credit market\, helping participants understand the evolving landscape of nature finance. \nThe event will showcase practical examples from successful Plan Vivo Climate projects across Africa\, as well as emerging PV Nature pipeline projects that demonstrate how high-integrity nature markets can support grassroots conservation initiatives. \nFollow the link to register your participation: https://forms.gle/W2eFCvSHsJoQKTUH7  \n

SUMMARY:National Wildlife Conservation Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Theme 2026: Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPS): Conserving Heritage\, Health and Livelihoods \nEvery year on March 3\, people all over the world celebrate “World Wildlife Day” to honour the many beautiful and unique species of wild animals and plants. Wildlife traditionally refers to undomesticated animal species\, but has come to include all plants\, fungi\, and other organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans. \nWildlife Day is an opportunity to recognise the unique roles that natural plants and animals play in our ecosystem. It allows you to show support for a range of creatures. It serves as a timely reminder that more needs to be done to combat wildlife crime and human-caused biodiversity loss\, which are increasingly having cultural\, social\, and economic repercussions. Both plants and animals have inherent value for our ecosystem\, economy\, science\, history\, and other facets of sustainable human development. The occasion of World Wildlife Conservation Day allows us to recognise these magnificent wildlife species. \nThis year’s theme highlights the crucial role these plants play in human health\, traditional knowledge\, and sustainable economies\, while also addressing the threats they face from habitat loss and overharvesting. \nThe Ministry of Tourism\, Wildlife and Antiquities (MTWA) is leading in the preparations of the National celebrations. The World Wildlife Day celebrations will be held on 3rd March 2026\, in Entebbe at the former Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre. A series of events to celebrate the day\, include; a Media launch\, Wildlife Conservation Conference\, Crane festival\, Wildlife Marathon\, Wildlife Quizzes\, and the major Wildlife day celebrations in that order. \nNatureUganda is organising the Wildlife Conservation Conference under the theme ‘Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Heritage\, Health and Livelihoods’. This conference is scheduled for 26th February 2026.
