Should we change it because of its complexity? Let us respect the Crested Crane for having served us for 47 years as a national emblem. The Crane is friendly, gentle and beautiful.

A crested crane is a bird of national significance to Uganda, occupying a prime position on the country’s national flag and coat of arms.

A recent survey in Lwengo by the International Crane Foundation (ICF) revealed that there are 1,359 grey-crested cranes in the district and with eleven killed the number now reduces to 1,348.

The logo is a semi-realistic image of a Crested Crane - one of the symbols on the Uganda national emblem, flashing the national colours; Black, yellow, red, and carrying a blue globe on its back.
