The National Forestry Authority (NFA) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) have pledged to strengthen collaboration in the conservation and restoration of Uganda’s forests.

NFA acting Managing Director Stuart Maniraguha highlighted that with support from WWF, they have been able to restore and conserve Bugoma, Kagombe, Ibambaaro, and Kitechura central forest reserves in Bunyoro Sub-region.

“We thank WWF for support to NFA in terms of equipment and capacity building but most importantly rehabilitation of eco-system. For many years, we have been receiving support from WWF for improvement of management of forest reserves within the Bugoma- Kagombe landscape. This has been ongoing for three years,” Mr Maniraguha said.

He was meeting senior WWF officials, who included Mr Ivan Tumuhimbise, the country director; and, Mr Flemming Voetmann, the vice president in charge of sustainability.

Mr Flemming reflected on the partnership, stating: "It has been a journey of two and a half years with NFA, I applaud the NFA leadership for its strategic and robust planning interventions in protecting and planting forest reserves in Uganda.”
