Legal Training on Addressing Sand Mining in Lwera Wetland in Uganda
In Lwera, Uganda, sand mining poses a threat to critical ecosystems, especially contributing to steadily deteriorating wetlands. Often, community members are unaware of conventional legal instruments that might aid conservation efforts in this town. Muwanya John Mulo proposes a solution to combine education and community engagement to inform and enable community efforts to limit sand mining and conserve wetlands in Lwera. This hybrid training solution would include multiple stakeholders and learning exchanges, and would provide a space to nurture experiential learning, which would, in turn, mobilize the community to practice conservation and advocacy.
