Biodiversity Conservation at Rugezi Marsh Burera District

In Rwanda, wetlands offers a generous diversity of wildlife species. Yet these are endangered by human-caused marsh degradation and growing poaching activities. One species that is particularly threatened at the marsh is the Grey Crowned Cranes. The European Union is a long-standing advocate for wildlife protection and ecosystem conservation. In Rugezi Marsh, Burera District, the EU is supporting the project “Enhancing the role of local communities in the protection of Rugezi Marsh and its iconic Grey Crowned Cranes”.
