Rangers in Uganda's largest national park have begun the relocation of 12 endangered Nubian giraffes.
The project is intended to preserve the species’ population, enhance biodiversity, and diversify tourism opportunities.
But with an estimated 40 per cent of Uganda’s oil deposits in the Murchison Falls area and park , they are also facing an increasing threat from oil drilling activities.
Uganda is pushing to produce its first oil from the area.
In June 2023, TotalEnergies officially began drilling for oil in the Tilenga project area within the park.
