Profile

The East African Wildlife Society, EAWLS, was formed in 1961. The Kenya and Tanzania Wildlife Societies, both started in 1956, joined together with wildlife enthusiasts from Uganda, and thus EAWLS was born. EAWLS was established as a membership organisation, as reflected in its constitution, and is registered as a Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO, under the NGO Act of 1990. For over forty years now, EAWLS has been at the forefront of efforts protecting endangered and threatened species and habitats in East Africa.
