This is #Ugandaโs truth about #Ebola
A Congolese national continues to undergo treatment after testing positive.
She was linked to the first case of a Congolese man whoโd travelled to the country for treatment, died and was confirmed to have had the virus.
His body was sent back to the DRC.
Health workers and others who interacted with the two cases were traced and are now in isolation- being monitored.
None of them has so far tested positive for Ebola.
There are no local infections.
Meaning, no Ugandan or person living in Uganda has Ebola.
Thatโs our truth.
@Globalstats11 Uganda is missing on the list. We've got Mountain Gorillas, the source of the Nile, an Island with chimpanzees and Mountains of the Moon, all in a tropical Country.

The Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) of the Convention on Wetlands, has just released Policy Brief No. 7, titled "Small Wetlands: Their Importance and Strategies for Effective Conservation".
Small wetlands, big impact! Despite their limited size, they offer essential ecosystem services:
๐ง Water purification
๐ Flood regulation
๐ Climate resilience
๐ธ Biodiversity conservation
The brief provides targeted recommendations to help policymakers and wetland managers better integrate small wetlands into national inventories, conservation plans and policy frameworks.

Wetland habitats support a rich diversity of life, but 35% of the worldโs #wetlands have disappeared in the last 50 years.
Wetland restoration not only increases #biodiversity but their ability to produce ecosystem services for the benefit of people.
