UN Helps Establish Key Bird Habitat In Uganda
What’s good for the economy of Uganda’s Musambwa Islands in Lake Victoria hasn’t always been good for its environment. Until recently, a busy fishing location competed with a bird sanctuary vital to the survival of the Grey Headed Gull. Thanks to concerted efforts by Nature Uganda and the UN Development Programme, the fishermen have learned that preserving their livelihood and sustaining this habitat’s natural beauty go hand in hand.
