Abstract
Last week 11 lions were poisoned in Queen Elizabeth National Park in an escalation of hostility from communities towards wildlife.
Hamukungu is one of the human settlements inside the park. others include Muhokya, Kahokya, Katunguru, Kahendero, Kasenyi, Katwe-Kabatooro town council and Kirongo. All these areas face invasions of animals as conservationists argue that it is man who has encroached on the wild animal habitants over time due to population pressures on the fixed land.
