The government will conduct a wildlife census next year in a bid to establish the current status of the wildlife sector and emerging challenges in the country.
The 2024 census will also be used to establish the status of the sector that has borne the brunt of the harsh weather that has hit the country.
This came as the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife launched the National Wildlife Research Agenda 2023-27, which will be carried out by the Wildlife Research and Training Institute (WRTI).
