"In science, there is no waste. Matter is not created; it is only transformed from one state to another. Plastic can be recycled back into plastic, and wood can be recycled as well. As a country, we only need to support our cities and municipalities with equipment to facilitate proper waste sorting."
Authorities report that numerous people have continued to illegally reclaim wetlands for settlement and farming, posing a significant threat to the environment.
Available statistics show that wetland coverage in Uganda has dropped from 37,346.3 Sq. Km in 1994 (15.5 percent) to 21,526.3 Sq.Km which is an 8.9 percent decrease. There is also a projection indicating that if the destruction trends are not checked, Uganda will be left with only 1.6 percent of wetlands cover by 2040.
