Uganda launches taskforce to help restore lion populations

So: Uganda has launched a taskforce to coordinate conservation efforts for lions and other large carnivores, including leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyenas and African wild dogs. The initiative comes as the country’s lion population has fallen from an estimated 373 in 2020 to 291 in recent years. Guided by a 2024-2034 action plan, the taskforce aims to help increase viable carnivore populations by 30% and reduce poaching threats by 50%. Its work will bring government, wildlife authorities, conservation groups and local communities together to protect these iconic animals and support Uganda’s natural heritage.
