The same period we celebrate the hope of Bugoma Forest, we also mourn a man who fought for its life.

Today, 9th April, we lay to rest our Late Chairman LC V Kikuube, Peter Banura.

The Association for Conservation of Bugoma Forest mourns a fearless leader.
His legacy lives on.

Government should not boycott tourism. Institutions must oppose the MZ land title in Bugoma Forest and push for its cancellation.

Tourism stakeholders should unite with Destination Jungle, ACBF, and Bugoma Jungle Lodge to protect chimpanzees vital to their business.

Tourism stakeholders and local communities peacefully demonstrated for two days to defend Bugoma Forest against destruction and boundary opening.

Arrests will not silence the call: Protect Bugoma Forest.

ACBF condemns MZ agencies for uprooting original boundary pillars placed by the NFA and relocating them inside Bugoma Forest to alter its boundary.

We will follow this on the ground and any illegally placed pillars will be uprooted.

Bugoma Forest is still bleeding.

Destruction continues despite clear directives. We demand immediate boundary clearing and proper marking as directed by Minister of lands to stop encroachment and protect this vital ecosystem

Enough talk. It’s time for action.

We are at a crucial point in the conservation of Bugoma Forest. Since Aug 2020, deforestation by Hoima Sugar has threatened this chimpanzee sanctuary and eco-tourism site. It’s time for tour operators to step up and protect Bugoma.
