In a groundbreaking initiative, Victoria University has collaborated with Arturo Islas Allende, a global conservationist and influential media figure, to launch the Arturo Islas Allende Environment and Conservation Centre.
The primary objective of this new establishment is to generate and disseminate cutting-edge knowledge, with a focus on integrating conservation education across all academic disciplines. Acknowledging the broader role of higher education, the Centre aims to shape future leaders equipped with a sustainable mindset and skill set.
To benefit students, faculty, and the broader community, the Conservation Centre will actively conduct research to ensure the practical application of acquired knowledge.
In partnership with Arturo and the Back to the Source Tours team, the Centre aims to raise awareness and educate communities in Uganda and the East African region about the significance of their natural resources. The ultimate goal is to empower individuals to actively engage in conservation efforts and comprehend the importance of sustainable practices.
Arturo emphasizes Uganda’s exceptional natural beauty and the local eagerness to learn. The partnership not only seeks to impart skills but also generate revenue for the tourism sector and its ecosystem, ensuring direct benefits to the country from project-generated funds.
