Membership based organisation and decisions drawn by members; Membership is NatureUganda’s constituency where conservation, research and information dissemination is done by, for and on behalf of the members.

 Science based; Inspired by the original purpose of the society to document natural history of East Africa, the institutions’ work is hinged on scientific information generated through well laid down research and monitoring programmes.

 Good governance: The society is governed by the supreme decision making body, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) that elects an Executive Committee from members who oversee the implementation of the organization’s programmes. The Executive Committee, in a transparent manner with equal opportunity to all, recruits secretariat staff headed by the Executive Director to run the day-to-day activities of the organization. The society accounts are audited annually by independent national and internationally recognized audit firms.

 People oriented;   In all NatureUganda’s work, people are considered central in execution of tasks and benefit that accrue. This promotes sustainable and equitable use of natural resources.
