The forgotten ‘victim’ of the northern Uganda war

The forgotten ‘victim’ of the northern Uganda war
Gladys Oroma, Daily Monitor Only, Uganda June 4, 2008, http://www.monitor.co.ug

In times of war, what concerns people most are the effects of the insurgency on the people, not its effects on the environment among others things.

The war however, in northern Uganda has had severe effects on the environment, says a new report. Due to the conflict, there has been a change in the land cover over the last 18 years. The remote sensing analysis report shows that small-scale woodland covers have increased in the area in the past years.

According to the 2005 report, the woodland vegetation cover increase occurred in the districts of Kitgum, Gulu, Pader, Adjumani and Moyo while a significant decline in the woodland cover was registered in the districts of Apac, Kotido, Lira and Moroto.
