ZOOQUARIUMDESIGN financially supports the Uganda Wildlife and Education Center (www.uwec.ug) in Entebbe, Uganda, as an ongoing project.

Uganda, the pearl of Africa, is one of Africa’s biodiversity hotspots and therefore not only one of the last areas where the highly endangered mountain gorilla can be found. Uganda’s wetlands are also home to the highly endangered shoebill and the list goes on. The UWEC in Entebbe makes a major contribution locally, particularly through its outstanding environmental education and teaching program, to convincing future generations of the need to protect their wildlife and the associated habitats. The UWEC is also actively involved in species conservation in the country with countless projects. In an integrated, well-equipped veterinary clinic, injured native animals are cared for so that they can then be released back into the wild. ZOOQUARIUMDESIGN supports the Uganda Wildlife and Education Centre with a fixed and project-related amount that enables the institution to implement smaller projects, repairs or construction projects.
