Women making great change!
Listen to Dr Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka's story in her recent interview with CNN on #CNNGlobalPerspectivesonAfrica about how she was inspired to become a wildlife veterinarian, start her gorilla conservation journey, and advocate for sustainable tourism to the great apes.

We celebrate the mothers of the 28 habituated gorilla groups across Uganda's Bwindi and Mgahinga National Parks.
We also celebrate all mothers all over the world.
Happy Mother's Day!

When Sir David Attenborough met with our Founder and CEO, Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka in 2011, he told her that he regretted getting too close to the mountain gorillas in 1978.
In Sir David's defence, it was the gorillas who got too close to him, and it was in January 1978, years before the rules were established, so no rules were broken!
Even after becoming one of the world’s greatest natural historians, Sir David Attenborough never stopped learning.
For over 70 years, he has dedicated his life to advocating for the protection of our natural world. He helped humanity fall in love with it, and when people love something, they protect it.
That may be one of the greatest gifts anyone has ever given this planet.
Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough!
10 people who have met and worked with him, including Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, reflect on how their collaborations with Sir David shaped their work, perspectives, and mindsets. Read the full article: /sir-david-attenborough-happy-birthday-100/

On 28 April 2026, we joined conservation partners at the launch of the “State of Uganda’s Wildlife Resources Report 2026” at the Uganda Wildlife Authority Headquarters.
The event was officiated by Hon. Col. (Rtd) Tom R. Butime, Minister of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, bringing together key stakeholders united by a common goal of protecting Uganda’s extraordinary biodiversity.
The report uncovers that while some wildlife species are recovering, others continue to face threats from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching. Strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration, investing in science and advancing integrated approaches like One Health are critical to sustaining these gains.
This reinforces our One Health model at CTPH that emphasises that conservation works best through collaboration and when people, wildlife, and ecosystems are supported together.
We encourage you to explore the full report and reflect on how you can play a role in biodiversity conservation:

Happy #WorldVeterinaryDay to veterinarians and all in #vetmed caring for far more than individual animals. 🌍🐾
From wildlife field medicine to companion animal care, livestock health, food security and preventing zoonotic disease outbreaks — veterinarians sit at the intersection of animal, human and environmental health. That’s the heart of One Health.
We’ve seen firsthand how veterinary medicine protects ecosystems, communities, and the species we share this planet with. Today we celebrate the vets working in clinics, conservation programs, research labs, farms, rescues and remote field sites around the world. Your work matters deeply.
Here’s to the veterinarians helping safeguard both biodiversity and public health — often behind the scenes.
Webare Munonga! Thank you very much! 🫶🏽🐵🦍

Gorillas don't always stay in the forest, and when they wander into community land, both people and gorillas are at risk of conflict and disease transmission. Your $250 trains local Gorilla Guardians to safely guide them home, reducing conflict and protecting everyone.
