Abstract
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.
