Currently, due to the CITES and the Convention on Biological Diversity, biological resources such as DNA samples is not easy to take out of the country. It is a great advantage to be able to analyze DNA and hormone samples obtained non-invasively in the Kalinzu forest at this center of Makerere University.

In 2019, we invited Makerere University technician and Master course student to Kyoto University to learn DNA analysis. In future, we will promote international exchange not only between Kyoto University and Makerere University, but also students and researchers from other countries in Europe, the United States and Africa.
