The department of natural resources of Kumi district local government has received 60 concrete pillars from the Ministry of Water and Environment. These pillars are earmarked for the demarcation of wetlands as part of the restoration activities under the "Building resilient communities, wetlands ecosystems and associated catchments in Uganda" project. This intervention is a crucial step in addressing the management of critical wetlands affected by a changing climate. The project, which is being implemented by the Ministry of Water and Environment in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, and the Uganda National Meteorological Authority, is funded by the Green Climate Fund, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and the Government of Uganda. The 8-year project aims to build resilient communities, wetland ecosystems, and associated catchments in Uganda from 2017 to 2025. Opio Moses, the Project Focal person, highlighted the significance of the concrete pillars in creating boundaries between the buffer and red zones. These boundaries will inform farmers not to exceed the demarcated areas for cultivation and will support regulated activities such as fish farming, livestock grazing, and horticulture. Opio emphasized that the restoration activities will involve demarcation of boundaries with the concrete pillars, blocking of water channels, destroying rice fields, and planting of trees. He also appealed to the community to support these efforts, which will contribute to the conservation and restoration of the wetlands. The receipt of these concrete pillars marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to protect and restore the wetlands in Kumi district. With the community's support and the implementation of these restoration activities, the project aims to create a positive impact on the local environment and build resilience against the challenges posed by a changing climate.     Concrete Pillars received from Ministry of Water and Environment.
