PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Conservation camps have been ongoing since 2019 for each year targeting the young generations in regards to environmental and wildlife management. The impacts of the trainings are well observed back in schools and communities where trees are planted and conservation messages are being spread in schools and communities.

Conservation education serves as a powerful catalyst for promoting environmental awareness and inspiring positive action. By integrating conservation principles into educational curricula, schools and educational institutions have the opportunity to reach a wide audience and shape the attitudes and behaviors of young minds.

By incorporating conservation topics into various subjects, shall enable students get exposed to the interconnectedness of the natural world and its relevance to their everyday lives.

UWCI ROLES IN CONSERVATION CAMPINGS.

UWCI organizes conservation camps as one way of integrating conservation education into formal and informal settings, there is still much work to be done. The challenges facing our planet require ongoing efforts to educate and inspire individuals to take action. By investing in conservation education, we invest in the future of our planet, ensuring that future generations are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to address environmental and wildlife challenges.

Conservation education is not a one-time event but a lifelong journey. It is a continuous process of learning, reflection, and action. By nurturing a sense of wonder and curiosity about the natural world, we can inspire individual young ones to explore, discover, and protect the incredible biodiversity that surrounds us. Through conservation education, we can create a world where humans and nature live in harmony, ensuring a sustainable and vibrant future for all.

UWCI facilitates Conservation education to schools that are found near primates protected area of Mgahinga and Bwindi impenetrable National Park as a powerful tool that can empower individuals to make a positive impact on the environment. By developing and engaging relevant educational content, educators can create a foundation for effective conservation education. Utilizing a variety of media formats such as videos, interactive websites, and virtual reality experiences, conservation experts can create immersive learning environments that capture learners’ attention and facilitate understanding.

Within conservation camping’s we also do interactive formal and informal conservation sessions where learners can explore the impacts of mismanaging the environment. Videos can showcase the efforts of local communities in preserving endangered species and restoring fragile habitat, a case in point is Mgahinga gorilla National Park that has only one gorilla group that critically need special care and protection.

UWCI can transport learners to remote location for virtual reality experiences, allowing them to witness firsthand of the beauty and fragility of our planet.

From Conservation camping’s we can also identify valuable insights into the roles of indigenous people in managing and conserving wildlife through traditional knowledge and practices.

UWCI influences Informal educational settings that play a significant role in enhancing environmental literacy. We can visit Nature centers, zoos, botanical gardens and nature walks. UWCI provides individuals with opportunities to connect with nature and engage in experiential learning by visiting the national parks that allows individuals to explore firsthand and develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

OBJECTIVES OF CONSERVATION CAMPING

To develop a second-generation leader of environmental who will play an active role for the future environmental management by taking a stand, continuing to educate, promote and advocate for the environment. As the younger generation will carry the burden of distressed environment. a legacy of past and present generations UWCI feels that environment education should be apriority to the young generations.

As humans’ populations increase and pressure on wildlife resources increase, the conservation camp will be preaching conservation messages to mitigate human wildlife conflict through antipoaching messages, tree planting methods, attitude changes and perceptions.
