Bio-diversity

Kitanga Wetlands (formerly 859 hectares now 496 hectares) constitute one of the most extensive continuous water catchment areas in Kabale District. The wetlands are under threat from population pressure, drainage/reclamation activities, seasonal fires and wildlife hunting. The goal of the project is to promote regeneration and conservation of Kitanga Wetlands while providing alternative sources of livelihood for farmer groups. Activities include environmental conservation awareness, wetland conservation and management activities, establishment of byelaws and promotion of alternative sources of livelihood.
