 Vital waste: A case study of informal waste management, urban infrastructure, and future-making in Gulu
REFNo: SS4342ES

The aim of the proposed research is to create new empirical insights into municipal and citizen-led waste management in Africa using ethnographic research methods. The proposed project also intends to break new theoretical ground by putting the empirical findings into conversation with existing literature on waste, infrastructure, and urbanity.

Conservation science of African Grey Parrot
REFNo: NS744ES

African Grey Parrot is endangered bird species. Their physiological and genetic characteristics must be known for the better conservation. As Chubu University and UWEC start the joint conservation project for African Grey Parrot with the finance from Japanese goverment (Japan International Cooperation Agency, JICA). We focus on the role of zoo in the ex-situ African Grey Parrot conservation in which development of the nutrition science, the breeding science, the behavior science, and the veterinary science toward this particular species are essential for the future success of ex-situ conservation.
