Join us on a journey to Murchison Falls, Uganda's gem in wildlife tourism, where the battle against poaching is more critical than ever. Global Conservation stands at the forefront, sponsoring Hilton's mission and supporting the protection of Murchison Falls National Park through our innovative Global Park Defense system.

Learn about the remarkable recovery efforts initiated by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and the Ugandan Conservation Foundation (UCF) since 2010. In 2018, Global Conservation deployed the Global Park Defense program, leveraging technology and community-based enforcement to safeguard the park's biodiversity.

Despite the ongoing threat of poaching, our efforts have yielded promising results. From the resurgence of elephants and Rothschild giraffes to the preservation of Uganda's diverse wildlife, our commitment remains unwavering.

With your support, we can continue to combat poaching and ensure the longevity of Uganda's unique biodiversity. Join us in our mission by visiting https://globalconservation.org/donati... and getting involved today.

About us
Global Conservation is dedicated to safeguarding our planet's most vital and endangered wilderness areas as wild spaces face unprecedented threats. With poaching, logging, mining, land clearing, and human encroachment on the rise, these pristine habitats are rapidly disappearing. Over the next decade, human activity is projected to consume half of the remaining intact wildlife habitats, endangering iconic species like tigers, primates, bears, lions, elephants, and rhinos. Protected areas are becoming the last refuges for wildlife in developing nations.

As the sole nature conservation organization focused solely on directly funding park protection systems for national parks and UNESCO World Heritage Sites in developing countries, Global Conservation prioritizes the preservation of these critical ecosystems. We work hand in hand with local and indigenous communities, empowering them as the first line of defense for their ancestral lands. Our flagship program, Global Park Defense, aims to extend "No Cut, No Kill" protection to 25 parks worldwide by 2025. Together with our partners and supporters, we strive to ensure the long-term survival of our planet's most precious natural treasures.
