Entebbe Botanic Gardens and the Zoo

The Entebbe Botanic Gardens (EBG) is under the Plant Genetic Resources Centre (PGRC). PGRC is mandated to collect and maintain stocks of diverse germplasm, enhance their utilization, pursue scientific research in plant genetics resources management and promote awareness on plant conservation. The Uganda Wildlife Conservation Authority (UWEC) on the other hand is mandated to undertake conservation education, wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and breeding of endangered animal species among others. The centres are usually referred to as, the Entebbe Botanic Gardens (EBG) and the Zoo respectively. These are experiential adventurous, leisure and recreation sites for tourist attraction, students and adults of all age groups. Due to their strategic location along the shared beautiful sceneries of Lake Victoria shores, the two facilities inhabit resident and migratory species that depend on their preferred habitats for feeding, nesting or breeding and resting. The two centres partnered to effectively manage the plant, animal and bird species’ population and diversity simultaneously. More information about UWEC is accessible at https://uwec.ug/
