National Forestry Authority-Uganda

Uganda's forest cover increased from 9% in 2015 to 13% in 2019.

The engagement highlights the importance of private sector–government collaboration in promoting sustainable land use and protecting forest reserves.

Key resolutions included joint community sensitization on tree planting, encouraging farmers to plant at least 10 trees each, supporting forest enrichment planting, regulating firewood access, and strengthening forest boundary management through field staff guidance.

Stakeholders from Uganda Tobacco Services Ltd and the Ministry of Water and Environment Budongo System Range team held discussions on strengthening forest conservation and sustainability in tobacco-growing areas near forest reserves.

@plumbing_traits @KatalikaweW Nonve and the other central forest reserves are all being conserved (sustainable use) guided by their forest management plans.

@NFAUG @KatalikaweW Which one are you preserving

Nonve CFR remains a gazetted forest. Conservation efforts are ongoing, with restoration programs actively working to conserve its biodiversity& eco value. Any change to the status of Nonve CFR must follow the requirements of the National Forestry and Tree Planting Act, Cap 160.

Discussions focused on collaborative forest management, sustainable resource use, and community participation in forest governance.

Strengthening Forest Governance in Timu CFR. Together with the ACODE team, we engaged the Timu Environment Conservation CFM Group in Kaabong. Timu CFR is home to the Ik indigenous community, with the entire Timu Sub-county located within the forest reserve.

This is what Rotary is all about for me. By bringing together the private sector, government, and the community, we make a lasting difference that none of us could achieve on our own. Namananga is an important ecological corridor that connects Mabira Forest to Musamya Swamp. It helps protect the water streams that support families, farms, and wildlife. #RotaryEyamba @NFAUG @Educ_SportsUg @EACOP_ #UgandaBreweries

@kabuniversity The Ag. ED @min_waterUg / @NFAUG handed over the site with Echuya CFR to Kabale University. A license had been signeded earlier which will guide research and other forestry activities in the forest.

We have signed an MOU with the National Forest Authority @NFAUG today. Kabale University is allocated some land within Echuya Forest so that it may establish a research center there. This will enhance hands-on training and skill development. This site will benefit the Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, the Institute of Tourism and Hospitality Management, and other academic units.

@SuunaKing_James These are pure lies.

Is this true @NFAUG ??

On the Kenyan side, implementation will be supported by the Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT), strengthening cross-border conservation cooperation.

The area is known for its rich biodiversity and importance to local livelihoods. Support will include one sector vehicle and two motorcycles to improve patrols, field operations, and community engagement, contributing to forest restoration and climate resilience.

The EU is funding a new conservation project in the transboundary Kidepo–Turkana landscape shared by Uganda & Kenya. The initiative, promoted by the Uganda Conservation Foundation (UCF), aims to strengthen new & existing community conservancies located near protected areas & CFRs
