The government has requested the Global Environment Facility (GEF) support for more detailed conservation inputs into the forests of the Albertine Rift system. The next steps will be a detailed strategy and action plan for the forests, covering all stakeholders and donor interests. Principal strategies will include plans for the ungazetted forest patches so as to reduce further deforestation, as well as strategies for greater people participation and the implementation of the forest conservation plan.
