Urgent appeal to protect kitubulu central forest reserve

In this urgent appeal, the Centre for Citizens Conserving Environment & Management (CECIC) calls on the National Forestry Authority (NFA) to protect the Kitubulu Central Forest Reserve from a proposed allocation of 150 acres for development. The letter highlights the forest's critical role in safeguarding Lake Victoria's ecosystem, biodiversity, and local climate.

CECIC argues that converting this protected reserve would violate Uganda's environmental commitments and constitutional rights. The appeal urges immediate action to suspend the project, explore alternative land, and strengthen oversight to ensure development does not come at the cost of irreversible environmental destruction.
