Dr Andrew Seguya, the executive director of Uganda Wildlife Authority says the authority proposed the destruction of the ivory, building a Museum or a real high rising Ivory tower to impart conservation knowledge and generate revenue for the nation, as viable options to derive value out of the illegally acquired animal trophies.
Ntungamo Municipality Town Clerk Christopher Ahimbisibwe told URN that the destruction of the artificial forest aims to send a signal to all those involved in the destruction of natural resources to cease adding that all land encroached on will soon be recovered.
