To increase the number of wildlife veterinarians by providing scholarships in “Wildlife Health and Management” at the Makerere university and other like universities in Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The scholarship program in “Wildlife Health and Management” is an investment and plays key role in the future for the region providing leadership to improve the health and welfare for everyone.

social groups, and genetic diversity.
