The African Crane Conservation Programme in Uganda and the local communities organized the World Wetlands Day 2020 celebration in Bushenyi district on Feb. 7.
The event highlighted that it had been deemed important that communities attend the function to showcase how they conserve wetlands and other biodiversity therein and also learn from their counterparts involved in similar work elsewhere in the country. The World Wetlands Day aims to raise global awareness about the vital role of wetlands for people and the planet.
