It is a public-private partnership intended to reduce Uganda's dependence on imported vegetable oil while creating sustainable jobs and income for several thousand people. Its critics say it's destroying forests with no regard for environmental regulation

Whenever there is a generalized cutting down of timber to create gardening space, environmental destruction ensues. Cal, thanks for a great article. I can sink my teeth into this one.

Man should have learned by now.. work with nature and not against it.. be clever and work in areas suitable, and leave the forests to the forests.. it makes me angry, as ignorance is no excuse.. when one can see in front of them, it is plain and clear the devstation of the environment
