A case to reforest Uganda Uganda is a fertile, beautiful country aptly known as the “Pearl of Africa.” One would think it is adequately forested. However, upon deeper investigation, it is apparent that that is not entirely the case. Deforestation remains a major concern, with 80% of Uganda’s 35 million population presently living in rural areas and greatly dependant (approximately 90%) on fuel wood for their energy needs. The country’s population growth is currently estimated at 3.4% per annum which is expected to double within the next 20 years. Human encroachment on forests is one of Uganda’s main environmental concerns, extending to even the Protected Areas (Central Forest Reserves and National Parks). Total forestry cover in Uganda is currently approximately 11% of the entire landholding. As a comparable, in 1990, forests covered 20.4 percent of the land area of the country. From 2010 to 2014, a total of 39m, 41m, 42m and 44m tones of round wood were produced in Uganda. This is an indicator of the growing need for wood and timber in the country. The aforementioned decline in Uganda’s forestry is correlated with the increased cultivation and sale of round wood in the country indicating the growing demand for timber with limited or dwindling supplies.
