The birth of the #sovereigntybill isn't a mere coincidence to the CSO community. You can't legislate our silence and yet we live with the effects of such actions.This is another product contributing to the shrinking civic space. Let's rise up and speak up against such narratives

🌴Bugoma chimp habitat hangs in the balance
😯Agricultural activities such as sugarcane growing by @HoimaSugar are decimating the forest.
🪔So are charcoal burning and maize growing.
🌳Previously intact sections of the forest are now being destroyed.
🛑This must stop!

[IGENEastAfrica @IGENEastAfrica]

As we mark #WorldWildlifeDay2026 , IGEN-EA calls on @NFAUG to evict encroachers and restore Bugoma Forest. Protecting this vital chimpanzee habitat safeguards eco-tourism, jobs, revenue, and local livelihoods.

What does this teach us on World Wildlife Day? In the forest, animals do not leave trash, humans do. Let us behave like animals, protect forests like Bugoma for the good of animals
