Although there are many conservation education projects working in Uganda, there is currently little evaluation of educational initiatives in the communities. A survey was developed to better understand the environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of people in 2 districts of Uganda. The main environmental problem listed by the respondents in both sites was human-wildlife conflict. The communities suggested that it is the responsibility of the government to solve their environmental problems. This study demonstrated a need to address local perceptions about conflict with wildlife. Future programs should be developed to educate communities about preventing crop raiding and reducing human-wildlife conflict. (Contains 6 tables.)
