Uganda today joins the rest of the world to commemorate the world wildlife day.

The event, themed “sustaining all life on earth”, will celebrate wildlife as a component of biodiversity in its many beautiful and varied forms.

This has been celebrated worldwide to shine a light on the benefits of wildlife globally for biodiversity and wildlife sustainability.
