Uganda is one of the blessed countries in Africa and the in world in
terms of its wildlife diversity, vegetation and landscapes. The riches
in its wildlife make Uganda a must visit destination and thus attracting safari visits.
Uganda
has over 364 species of mammal, about 1062 species of birds, about 13
primate species, plus other wildlife like reptiles, amphibians, insects
among others which are habituated by the rich vegetation in the country.
Wildlife in Uganda is the core tourism product which needs protection
in order to increase safaris to Uganda.
The
communities surrounding these protected areas have a habit of
exploiting the resources in the protected areas for their own benefits
in order to make a living and forget to preserve them for the future
generations. This affects the tourism industry and thus decline in the
number of safaris in Uganda.
Development
in the tourism industry is also affecting and altering the nature of
the vegetation. Accommodation and other infrastructural development have
led to clearing of some vegetation this leads to the disturbance in the
ecosystem running. Development should be in balance with ecotourism,
and environment in order to create a good environment for tourism and
also to preserve for the future generation and thus increasing safaris to Uganda.
The
future of our environment depends on the hands our stake holders.
Therefore there is need for conservation and balance between tourism
development and maintenance of the environment.
