Fellow global citizens, citizens and youths of Uganda, climate activists and civil societies across Africa and the world at large.
Today we(LYCA) call upon you to stand with Ugandans in saving Bugoma Central Forest Reserved that is under threat of been destroyed.
The government of Uganda through the National Environment Management Authority (NAMA) has approved of the destruction of Bugoma forest by giving permission to Hoima Sugar Limited to destroyed nine square miles, which Hoima Sugar Limited said should have been 22 square miles.
The 21.54 square miles Hoima Sugar Limited is claiming is part of Bugoma Central Forest Reserved.
