On Friday, it was a humbling experience participating in planting trees along Lukuli road near King Oyo’s residence in memory of his visionary leadership and commitment to environmental restoration. I kindly urge all of us to do what we can and conserve our environment.

Makerere University School of Public Health, in partnership with the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and Tree Adoption Uganda, and with funding from the Wellcome Trust, has launched the WIN-WIN project (Win-Win in the Wetlands for Climate). The project aims to assess the climate, health, social, and economic impacts of wetland restoration in urban Uganda and to develop and evaluate evidence-based conservation interventions, with a focus on how wetlands affect the health of surrounding communities, including diseases such as bilharzia and malaria. #MonitorUpdates 📹: @BuseinSamilu

The year opens with optimism and a quiet truth: time is no longer generous. The path to 2030 is shorter, the expectations higher, and the work more urgent. We step into 2026 focused and in motion, advancing sustainable health not by intention, but by action.

The environment's beauty is one that is unmatched! Nothing compares to the lush green, the chirping of the birds, how beautiful our ecosystem is! Just as lovely as it looks, it is our duty to guard it jealousy-with our all. What are you doing to protect the environment?
