Uganda Ends Sport Hunting as Wildlife Numbers Decline - NatGeo News Watch

Uganda Ends Sport Hunting as Wildlife Numbers Decline - NatGeo News Watch: "According to The New Vision: 'This follows a resolution from the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) to cancel hunting concessions offered years ago to the wildlife reserves.'We are concerned about the dwindling numbers of wild animals in the wildlife reserves. Hunting is prohibited,' said Mark Kamanzi, the acting director of UWA.'

Kamanzi was reported as saying that the share of benefits of sport hunting were lopsided and unlikely to deter poaching or improve UWA¹s capacity to manage the wildlife reserves."
