- Research & Monitoring
NatureUganda strives to enrich its knowledge base through the implementation of research and monitoring programs aimed at biodiversity conservation. These initiatives are important in the collection of data that provide a basis for conservation interventions for endangered wildlife and natural resources, as well as identifying threats to their sustainable management. The monitoring programs conducted encompass a range of activities, including waterfowl census, bird population monitoring, raptor counts, focused biodiversity assessments, and single species monitoring for important species.
