UWA, NGO sign deal to boost tourism in Uganda

Yesterday,the long awaited deal was finally signed by both Lilly Ajarova,the Executive Director of Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust and Andrew Sseguya,the Executive director,the Executive Director of Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).The signing of the memorandum of Understanding  was done at Lake Victoria Hotel in Entebbe.

This was one the key achievements the Uganda tourism industry was waiting for since it will help to bring the various organs of the sector to work together in  bid to promote development.The memorandum of Understanding will see these two organs work together and also train their stuff together.It will smooth the various activities in both parties and enhance prosperity.

Seguya said that protection of the forests is one of the key issues that must be encouraged in this era if  Uganda is to continue benefiting from the tourism sector.This is because wild animals live in these forests and once they are destroyed,these animals will perish.He therefore urge The Chimpanzee Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Trust (CSWCT)

 body to come and work together with UWA since they share a common goal.

The main objective of this deal signed is to create awareness among the community so that the tourism sector is handled in an efficient and effective manner.

Lilly Ajarova, the Executive Director of Chimpanzee Sanctuary also welcomed the partnership saying that it will promote the conservation of chimpanzees and the environment.She said that there is more need by the government to secure more land for the wild animals since tourism is the leading revenue source to this East African country.

Uganda is one of the leading destinations for chimpanzee trekking and many visitors from different parts of the world come to look a

t these human-like apes.However,for the past few years the primates have been under threat due to the increased deforestation that has left their homes destroyed.It is this that the government and various NGO's set up some chimpanzee sanctuaries to make sure that these magnificent primates don't perish.
