I today chaired the meeting hosted by HE Maj Gen. George A.Owino, the @KenyaInUganda High Commission.
This aims at identifying possible areas of collaboration as the @KenyaInUganda works with @MillionTrees_Ug to promote forestry Programs in Uganda.

Eucalyptus trees are known to be water suckers faster than other native trees
Growing them in #riverbanks is deadly! Water levels reduce significantly thus harming aquatic life & the river lifespan
It's though good for firewood as it grows & sprouts fast

Water, trees, air, biodiversity and nature are the immutable guarantors of all our lives. If we do not respect, protect and value them, we are the ones who do not know how to respect, protect and value ourselves. Life is beautiful and is our responsibility.❤️💙💚🌿🌱☘️🌳🌲🍀💚

The number of Ugandans visiting key tourist attractions across the country including UWEC, National Parks and Museums etc rose from 281,206 in 2021 to 890,802 in 2022, an increase of 609,596 visitors.
Likewise, the international tourist arrivals from key source markets like the U.S, Europe & China grew from 34,489 in 2021 to 51,285 in 2022, an increase of 16,796 visitors.
This shows growth in both the foreign and domestic tourism components. The contribution of tourism to GDP increased from 2.5% in the FY 2020/2021 to 6.7% in FY2021/2022.
My appreciation goes to the @GovUganda and H.E @KagutaMuseveni for supporting the tourism industry, the various agencies under @MTWAUganda which continue to work tirelessly towards the betterment of the sector, and every individual along the tourism value chain.

100 years ago, there were an estimated 1-2 million chimps across 25 countries in Africa. Today, there are as few as 350,000 wild (high estimate) chimpanzees across the continent of Africa. Uganda 🇺🇬 has an estimated 5000 individuals.😲 #WorldChimpanzeeDay #ChimpanzeeMyCousin

Very pleased to share that I was appointed to the @EUinUG Youth Sounding Board of Uganda under @FarajaAfricaFdn
This is an opportunity to advocate for the lives of youths living disabilities, not only in Uganda but also within the broader European Union community.

The best way to tackle plastic pollution is to prevent it in the first place.
For the sake of future generations, we must reduce, reuse, rethink, and redesign to #BeatPlasticPollution.
