Current Conservation Issues:

  • Poaching is reducing wildlife numbers and threatening certain species struggling to come back from near local extinction.
  • Cattle grazing is devastating parts of the reserve, allowing invasive species to thrive and making lions vulnerable to poisoning from cattle owners.
  • Deforestation is rampant as communities harvest trees for firewood, timber and charcoal making.
  • Fish populations in Lake Albert are steadily decreasing due to over-fishing and the use of harmful fishing techniques.
