The Kampala WorldCiC Wetland Preserve and Conservatory (KWWPC) will be launched on 05 June 2008 during the WorldCiC 2008 in Kampala. It is located between Kampala and Port Bell and covers an area of about 40 ha (~100 acres) in the Bugolobi Wetlands.

The Wetland Preserve will be a protected area of trees that is integrated with a system of constructed wetlands, canals and ponds. It will serve as a  forested wetland habitat for flora and fauna. The constructed wetland system will help to rejuvenate, rehabilitate and protect the Bugolobi Wetlands. It will also revitalise its natural function as a bio-filter for cleaning water and air.

The Conservatory will be an educational and reference centre on the arts and science, and culture of Ugandan wetlands. Children and people of all ages will be welcomed to help create and visit this recreational 'haven of hope of the human spirit of cooperation' with artistic expressions and exhibitions of the wetland environment. School children and bird-watchers can learn and appreciate how conservation activities can protect and enhance the natural richness and habitat for wetland flora and fauna.
