I am heartened by the support of the Zoo Keeper’s Association Uganda (ZKAU) members.  ZKAU was officially launched on 4TH OCTOBER 2023, after identifying the gaps in having no unifying platform for animal caregivers. ZKAU is a vehicle fronting better animal welfare through improved professionalism and betterment of the well-being of the animal caregivers. ZKAU offers a networking platform to animal care professionals and boosts their contribution to wildlife conservation. This has led to the unanimous innovations to attain the ZKAU vision and strategic objectives.

We aim to set an ambitious and brave role for the future of ZKAU, capitalising on its niche value as a regional voice, and providing distinct services to ZKAU members. I am also excited by the leadership and committees that have been nominated by ZKAU members who are eager to see the growth of ZKAU into a globally recognised institution with a backbone in fostering professionalism in wildlife care, professionalism, conservation and animal caregivers’ well-being.

Yours sincerely

Mr. Wako Ronald

PRESIDENT ZKAU
