KAMPALA, March 20 (Xinhua) -- In recent years, Uganda has made significant strides in promoting forest conservation through heightened public awareness campaigns and the introduction of advanced technologies. These efforts are beginning to yield positive results.
According to data from the National Forest Authority, Uganda's state-run forest conservation agency, forest cover has increased from 9 percent in 2015 to 13 percent in 2021, with a projected rise to 15 percent by 2025. This positive trend follows a notable decline in forest cover, which plummeted from 25 percent of the country's landmass in 1990 to around 9 percent in 2015.
