NATURE AND GOD
The sparrow responded that "I have heard the sky is
falling, and so I'm doing my little bit to hold it up."
Before I lay me down to rest
I ask the Lord one small request
I know I have all I could need
But this prayer is not for me
Too many people on this day
Don't have a peaceful place to stay
Let all fighting cease that
Your children may see peace
Wipe their tears of sorrow away
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow's counted
That You hear each cry
And listen to each prayer
Let me try always to believe
That we can hear the hearts that grieve
Please help us not ignore
The anguished cries of the poor
Or their pain will never leave
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow's counted
That You hear their cries
And listen to each prayer
(spoken prayer)
Father, as You see, I'm just a child
And there's so much to understand
But if Your Grace should surround me
Then I'll do the best I can
I promise, I'll do the very best I can
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow's counted
That You hear each cry
And listen to each prayer
Hear each cry and listen to each prayer
Help us do Your will oh Father
In the name of all that's true
And we'll see in one another
The loving image of You

The effect of low education on the environment
Education level affects the natural resources according to my research
The education of the local communities adjacent to
the wetland has either a positive or negative effect on the sustainable use of
the wetland resources. This was taken on the assumption that educated people
understand the use of the wetlands and their effect on the environment if degraded.
Whereas the illiterates do not know any thing on wet lands dangers if degraded.

Source; field data by the
researcher
From above it is clearly
shown that their very many primary school students due to introduction of UPE
program by the government which has helped the needy people who cannot manage
paying school fees for themselves.
The number of people has
slightly increased due to the introduction of USE which has provided free
secondary education to the people in the area.
There are few numbers for
those who have gone to the tertiary level due to lack of enough money to pay as
tuition.
The number of illiterates
was relatively high due to fact that there were cultural attachments such as
marriage, women specializing in domestic work and hunting by men meaning that
those who never attended school are now aged.

UGANDA THE BEST TOURISM DESTINATION

PRESS STATEMENT: Illegal Wildlife Trade
BRIEF REMARKS BY UGANDA’S MINISTER OF TOURISM, WILDLIFE AND ANTIQUITIES AT THE ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE CONFERENCE KASANE BOTSWANA
Your Excellence the President of Botswana Lt. Gen. Khama Ian Khama,
Your Excellences Heads of State and Governments present,
Honourable Ministers and Permanent Secretaries
All delegations
Ladies and Gentlemen.
1.I
wish on behalf of the Uganda delegation to congratulate the Republic of
Botswana and Your Excellency The President for organizing and hosting
this important Conference that is a follow up of both the Gaborone
African Elephant Summit in 2013 and the London Conference on Illegal
Wildlife Trade in 2014. Your Excellency, I extend our appreciation to
the government and people of Botswana for the warm hospitality accorded
to us.
2.This
follow up meeting is timely and very important for us to evaluate the
implementation of the measures and actions agreed upon more than one
year ago. It is no doubt that illegal killing of elephants, illegal
ivory trade as well as rhino horn trade has continued on the continent.
3.Your
Excellency and Distinguished Delegates, Uganda has stepped up the fight
against illegal wildlife trade and in the last one year, we have seized
over two tons of ivory at Entebbe International Airport, 30 rhino horns
and about 2 tons of Pangolin skins all being smuggled through the
airport. We have intensified our awareness creation not only with the
general public but all enforcement agencies and as a result of good
coordination and collaboration between various enforcement agencies, we
are determined to make it increasingly difficult for wildlife
traffickers to use Uganda as a Transit country.
4.We
have developed a new National Wildlife Policy that was approved by
Cabinet in March 2014. The Policy addresses gaps in the legal framework
and outlines some good strategies for addressing wildlife trafficking
and other crimes.
5.We
have experienced some few challenges in the management of our national
ivory stockpile to the extent that about 1.2 tons of ivory was in 2014
lost but we have since put up safeguards and measures to ensure that the
ivory in the national stockpile is safe. We have since recovered some
of this ivory from recent seizures but also noticed ivory from other
countries’ stockpiles within the seizures made in Uganda. We would like
to share our experience and also learn from others that have managed
their stockpiles well as experience is the best teacher.
6.Uganda
has continued to make use of accredited forensic laboratories in USA
and South Africa to determine the origin of seized ivory and rhino horns
respectively. To this end, Uganda welcomes the establishment of the new
forensic laboratory in Nairobi and we will definitely make use of it.
7.Uganda
will continue to strongly support strategies and measures that are
aimed at eliminating demand from consumer countries. It is this
seemingly insatiable demand that has escalated the problem of illegal
wildlife trade in Africa. We strongly call upon the consumer countries
to declare measures to be taken to eliminate this demand.
8.With regard to the Elephant Protection Initiative (EPI),
I understand that the process that was recommended for countries to
join the EPI here at Kasane would be by declaration in our respective
opening speeches. In that regard therefore, I now state that Uganda
fully supports and is pleased to announce its acceptance of the
invitation made by the Governments of Botswana, Ethiopia, Chad, Gabon
and Tanzania at the London Conference to join the Elephant Protection
Initiative.
9.In
accepting to join the EPI, Uganda calls for immediate and longer term
funding for the implementation of the African Elephant Action Plan and
we restate our support for the closure of both domestic and
international ivory markets. All stockpiles should be put beyond
economic use and for the moratorium over ten years imposed on any
consideration of future international trade and thereafter until African
elephant populations are no longer threatened.
10.Once
again, I wish to thank the people of Botswana for the hospitality
accorded to the Uganda delegation while here in Kasane and for agreeing
to coordinate and host this Conference. Uganda looks forward to
associating itself with the outcomes of this Conference.
