    An Analysis of the Compliance and Enforcement Mechanisms of the Uganda Wildlife Act
    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-06-04) Busingye Ian
    This dissertation provides a detailed evaluation of the compliance and enforcement mechanisms of the Uganda Wildlife Act, Cap. 315 with a view of investigating how effective they have been in promoting wildlife conservation efforts in Uganda and it suggests solutions to the challenges arising out of the gaps in these mechanisms. Wildlife is the major foreign income earner for Uganda and an important part of the biodiversity of the country with significant ecological benefits to the environment. There however are a number of challenges facing conservation efforts in Uganda including poaching and illegal wildlife trade which negatively impact species populations for example lions. This dissertation therefore draws a link between the challenges facing wildlife conservation efforts in Uganda and the gaps in the compliance and enforcement mechanisms in the Uganda Wildlife Act; it then suggest how best to close these gaps and solve these challenges.
