NEMA, Hoima Sugar sued again over Bugoma forest
May 19, 2021 A section of cleared Bugoma forest reserve
Uganda Law Society (ULS) and two civil society organisations have filed another petition challenging the planned giveaway of part of Bugoma forest reserve in Kikuube district, western Uganda.
Bugoma, a tropical forest gazetted in 1932, comprises 410 square kilometres of protected area, and a stretch of forest measuring about 40 kilometres. The forest is endowed with unique species of mammals, trees, birds, butterflies and moths. It is also a migratory route for wild animals and a catchment for rivers that drain into Lake Albert, where oil has been discovered.
