African wildlife is resurging in Uganda.  Decades-long conservation efforts have boosted populations of elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes in the country, reports YaleEnvironment360. Political upheaval and poaching led to a decline in Ugandan wildlife from the 1960s to the 1980s. Uganda's government introduced policies to conserve wildlife after hunting completely wiped out the country's populations of northern white and eastern black rhinos in the 1980s. Uganda now has 32 black rhinos after four rhinos were reintroduced to the country in 2005. The country had 44,163 buffaloes in 2021, a 77% increase since 1983. Uganda's elephant population has soared by almost 300% over the same period, reaching 7,975.
