Conservation Through Public Health

As part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Ebola disease preparedness in Uganda, Conservation Through Public Health (Conservation Through Public Health ) donated 25 infrared thermometers to Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) to support health screening at gorilla tourism sites in Bwindi and Mgahinga Conservation Area ( BMCA)

The thermometers are being used to screen all people before they embark on gorilla trekking, helping identify individuals with elevated body temperatures and reducing the risk of disease transmission to endangered mountain gorillas, from park staff, tourists and surrounding communities.

This initiative reflects the power of the One Health approach, recognizing that the health of people, wildlife, and ecosystems is interconnected.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our individual donors whose generosity made this donation possible. Your support is helping protect frontline conservation efforts, safeguard public health, and ensure a safer future for endangered mountain gorillas.
