Environmental Conservation

RUFODE acknowledges the impact of climate change as result of environmental degradation. RUFODE works for the restoration of wetlands in Uganda, by buying from encroachers and handing it over to government authorities.

Through civic education, RUFODE has managed to convince the locals to desist from swamp reclamation by educating them on the dangers of swamp reclamation. RUFODE has worked hard to discourage people from digging trenches in swampy areas, as these will drain away the water thus reducing the water table.

RUFODE would like to stalk the swamps with fish varieties to improve on the diet of the communities as a means of fighting hunger and conserving the wetland. RUFODE would like to see no river being cleared of its plant life, as this increases the speed of water and thus draining away water reducing the water table.

Afforestation

Nursery beds for seedlings have been prepared and tree seedlings have been provided to various interest groups. Tree species like eucalyptus, pine, avocados have been provided to increase on green cover in our areas of operation.

Fruit trees have also been provided to farmers for them to grow and provide fruits to communities and earn money from these fruits while at the same time increasing on the green cover in our areas of operation.
