A REPORT ON WILDLIFE

According to a report of Kampala City Council Authority of 2011 Uganda is facing rapid urbanization of 5.1% per annum, leading to overcrowding and the development of slums and informal settlements with poor waste management practices? Urban dwellers generally consume more resources than rural dwellers, and so generate large quantities of solid waste. Waste management in these areas is hampered by multiple land tenure system with many tenants not having a right to the land and therefore not able to manage waste domestically and also the urban authorities are overwhelmed by the sheer volumes of garbage generated. Solid Waste collection is currently one of the most critical services, whose quality and coverage has caused serious public outcry in slum areas. Kampala Capital City Authority acknowledges that the amount of Solid waste generated overwhelms the capacity of the Authority to collect and dispose it given the fact that the 5 cost of SW collection is enormous. Out of 1,200–1,500 tons of garbage generated per day, only 400-500 tones are collected giving a collection efficiency of only 40%. This implies that 60% of Solid waste generated daily is not properly collected and disposed which is likely to be indiscriminately dissolved and results into negative effects towards people’s general health like unsafe ground water and disease such as cholera among others . The wildlife under water is at high risk due waste from industries,poor fishing methods,sand mining among others. Though some scenarios are abit challenging cause sand is used for building which has no alternative at moment so the world needs to come together find the alternative for sand cause whenever it's extracted from the lakes,swamps etc alot of species are lost something has to be done starting now 

Unfortunately, public agents, and urban authorities do not have adequate capacity to handle the increased solid waste mainly due to limited public budgets. A consequence of failure to remove solid waste finally is health hazards like tetanus, water and sanitary as well as environmental problems such as contamination and pollution in Uganda especially in urban centers something has to be done to avoid the future hazards when some wild-life spiecies will be no more.Lets conserve the environment starting with what is within our capacity.
