Highland Wildlife Park ranger completes conservation education exchange in Uganda

Stuart Owen, Discovery ranger team leader at Highland Wildlife Park, spent two weeks at the Ugandan Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (UWEC) as part of the International Zoo Educators Job Exchange Programme, sharing knowledge on conservation education. Owen visited five Ugandan national parks and worked with UWEC's education team, which teaches schools across Uganda about wildlife and conservation issues, and assisted in developing a bird flight display to change negative cultural attitudes towards owls.
