Community Conservation in Action – A Visit to Ongo Community Forest
During a recent visit to the Murchison Landscape with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), we had the opportunity to explore the Ongo Community Forest, a vital conservation site spanning 192 hectares of communal land in Budongo Subcounty, Masindi District. Ongo Community Forest is one of the few community forests in Uganda with secure tenure, supporting the livelihoods of local community members and managed by the Ongo Communal Land Association (CLA). The forest also serves as a pilot site for the Darwin-funded Bio-credits project, aimed at enhancing biodiversity conservation.
