Today, we join the global community in celebrating World Wetlands Day, a vital reminder of the significance of wetlands in our environment and communities. In Uganda, our wetlands are not only beautiful landscapes but also crucial ecosystems that support biodiversity, provide clean water, and offer livelihoods to countless families.

Wetlands play a key role in regulating water quality, mitigating floods, and sequestering carbon, thus helping combat climate change. However, these invaluable resources are under threat from pollution, encroachment, and climate change. It is our responsibility to protect and preserve these ecosystems for future generations.

Let us advocate for sustainable practices, raise awareness about the importance of wetlands, and work together to restore and conserve these vital habitats. By doing so, we can ensure that Uganda’s wetlands continue to thrive, supporting both our environment and our communities.

Together, let’s take action to safeguard our wetlands and cherish the rich biodiversity they harbor. Happy World Wetlands Day!
