Abstract
This research endeavors to scrutinize the intricate interplay between wildlife conservation and the development of tourism at Kavumba Recreation Centre in Wakiso District, Central Uganda. Through a cross-sectional descriptive design, employing both qualitative and quantitative research methods, the study aims to unearth the multifaceted dynamics governing this relationship. The objectives include investigating the impact of wildlife conservation on tourism development, exploring the relationship between wildlife conservation and Uganda's economic development, and analyzing the nexus between wildlife conservation and tourism development at Kavumba Recreation Centre. The study area's geographical, content, and time scope were meticulously defined to focus on the pertinent variables. The research employs a sample size of 50 respondents, utilizing both probability and non-probability sampling techniques. In the literature review, the conceptual framework is constructed, elucidating key terms such as wildlife, wildlife conservation, tourism, and tourism development. The study area, population, sample size, sampling techniques, and data collection methods are detailed. The coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.374 revealed that approximately 37.4% of the variations in economic development can be explained by wildlife conservation. The adjusted R Square value of 0.395 accounted for the number of predictors in the model and number of observations, and suggests that 39.5% of the variations in economic development was predictable from wildlife conservation. While the actual data collection is pending, the study anticipates positive findings, hinting at the symbiotic relationship between wildlife conservation and tourism development. The impact of effective conservation measures on tourism growth is expected to be evident. Statistical evidence supporting collaborations with conservation organizations, local communities, and governmental bodies strengthens the case for a holistic and integrated approach to wildlife preservation.
