| dc.description.abstract | Deforestation in Uganda is a major setback to environmental protection program different estimates have been done by different scholars on the rate at which human activities are leading to forest clearance. However one thing that lacks in these researchers was a look at the role of the law. All developmental programs need to be protected by law so that destructors and those who go contrary to it may be brought to justice. This seems not to be the case in Uganda where the law does not protect many government programs and the forest sector is no exception. Well one many say that the existence of the forest Act Cap 146 and the environmental Act Cap 153 are enough laws to protect our forests but would like to differ from this due to the findings in this research. This research was carried out in the counties of Buikwe and Nakifuma in the administrative district of Mukono and its major focus was on Mabira forest as opposed to degazetted forest researches. Majorly the research was both qualitative and quantitative using observation and in-depth interviews/focus group discussions and structured interviews/were used for the former and questionnaire for the later. The law on deforestation seems not to exist. This is because Mabira forest is ever destroyed and it's on the verge of being destroyed more by Mehta group of companies for sugarcane growing as it was seen by March 2007 demonstration, protesting the move by the government to degazette Mabira forest to the above named company. | en_US |
