About the event
In Uganda, we shall celebrate World Wetlands Day 2024 in Mabamba Wetland Community
This year, our focus is on the Mabamba Wetland, a Ramsar Site recognized as a "wetland of international importance." Mabamba, located on the shores of Lake Victoria, is not just a beautiful landscape but a vital ecosystem.
It serves as a crucial water purifier, providing clean water for communities and wildlife. Home to over 300 bird species, including the endangered Shoebill Stork, Mabamba is a biodiversity treasure trove and a climate change warrior, mitigating floods and storing carbon.
