  The Vanishing Canopy: A Tale of Deforestation in Uganda 06 th , march 2024 By Immaculate Ainebyoona In the heart of East Africa lies Uganda, a land of breathtaking beauty and ecological diversity.

Uganda's landscapes have long been a canvas of natural wonders, painted with luxurious forests that echo with the melodies of life. Yet, behind this attractive facade lies a sobering reality – the relentless encroachment of deforestation. As the axe bites into ancient trees and the flames consume once-verdant landscapes, Uganda grapples with the profound consequences of environmental degradation.
