NatureUganda

NatureUganda (NU, the East Africa Natural History Society (EANHS) in Uganda, is a membership, research and conservation organization established to undertake conservation actions using scientifically proven methods for the benefit of the people and nature. It is the oldest membership organization in Uganda, having been founded (as EANHS) in 1909 as a scientific organization with the primary aim of documenting the diversity of wildlife in East Africa. By the mid-1990s, EANHS-Uganda had attracted many members and broadened the scope of activities in scientific research, conservation action, raising public awareness and advocacy. At this point, it was realized that a formal registration within Uganda would be necessary as a response to the increasing activities. The Society was therefore registered as a non-profit, independent national organization in 1995 with the operational name of NatureUganda – The East Africa Natural History Society. Her sister in Kenya is Nature Kenya – The East Africa Natural History Society. NatureUganda has been the national Partner of BirdLife International since 1995, and the society’s programs are based on the four well-established pillars namely; Species, Sites, Habitats and People.
