UGANDA WILDLIFE EDUCATION CENTRE (UWEC)

The Uganda Wildlife Education Centre was opened in 1952 as an animal orphanage. In the early 1960’s it became a zoo, commonly known as Entebbe Zoo. In May 1994, the New York Zoological society turned it into a conservation Education centre for conservation awareness purposes, hence the name Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC).
It is now a place to go to see and learn about animals as a recreation park for the Ugandan public. It is also a rescue and rehabilitation centre and a captive breeding unit for threatened animal species rescued from poachers, illegal trade or accidents.
