SAVING THE PRIMATES OF UGANDA TOGETHER
ABOUT US
The “ Save the Primates Together” campaign that started as a short term relief activity, will now become a long term project. The campaign was sparked off by the sudden death of the Silverback Gorilla also known as Rafiki of Nkuringo group
Rafiki was killed by a member of the community who had gone to the forest to hunt for Duiker, he confronted this silverback which tried to defend its family but unfortunately, the hunter killed it.
The Covid-19 global pandemic that has spread to the entire World has paralyzed all the businesses including tourism. It is therefore believed that due to lack of food at home, this man had gone hunting so that he could get food for the family.
