Abstract
Environmental conservationists have derived a new approach to revive the severely dwindling tree cover and restore the degraded environment in northern Uganda following indiscriminate deforestation for commercial charcoal production and timber trade, the Daily Monitor has learnt.
The approach, which offers hope by training and indoctrinating learners on reforestation and the dangers of environmental degradation and severe climate impacts, is a systematic shift from the traditional protection methods and restoration initiatives, which are said to have offered limited impact.
