Events to commemorate the World Wildlife Day are taking place at Kagorogoro playground in Bugaki Sub County Kyenjojo district.
The celebration is held under the theme "Connecting people and planet: exploring digital innovations in wildlife conservation."
The event is being graced by several ministers, Members of Parliament, religious leaders among others.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is expected to be the chief guest at the event.
The Government will focus on raising awareness about the application of digital technologies and interventions to promote wildlife conservation and management, the minister of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, Tom Butiime, told news conference in Kampala recently.
“The 2024 World Wildlife Day celebrations will, therefore, focus on raising awareness about the application of digital technologies and interventions to promote wildlife conservation and management and sharing emerging positive impacts on ecosystems and livelihoods in Uganda,” the minister said.
The celebrations will highlight new technological tools and related developments to complement Uganda's efforts in safeguarding biodiversity and harnessing benefits from wild animals and plants.
They will highlight key examples of digital innovations that have been used to enhance wildlife conservation efforts and, hence, could inspire practitioners to strengthen ongoing efforts to protect wildlife.
