One of the main goals of the Lake Albert Foundation is supporting reforestation and biodiversity restoration. That is why we teamed up with the ambitious potato-farm Kilimo Kisasa in Zombo District, Uganda, to make a vegetation inventory and map the plant species in their local wetlands. The Lake Albert Foundation used its network to contact Christopher of Embaka (African Golden Cat Foundation) to lead this inventory. The gained knowledge gives insights in which indigenous species are already present and how the area needs to be managed in order to enhance biodiversity and recover nature in Zombo’s wetlands. This will benefit many insects, reptiles, birds and mammals (like the otter). It also conserves wetlands as clean water sources, improves soil quality in the area and enhances the resilience of surrounding communities.
