It should be noted that since 1900, Uganda has lost about 41.6% of its forest cover, due to human- economic activities, such as agriculture, wood fuel and animal grazing among others.It is also important to note that about 88% of Ugandans still use wood fuel for cooking, which exerts a lot of pressure on forests, which are the raw materials for the wood fuel/ charcoal, used by many of our people for cooking.
