MT ELGON NATIONAL PARK CREATE MORE RELATIONS wITH NEIGHBOURS
The Mt. Elgon National Park management has awarded UGsh 4m to Chesower sub-county community environmental conservation project.This was done under a revenue-sharing scheme to communities bordering the park. Chief park warden Johnson Masereka on Monday said the donation would enable local communities initiate environment-friendly projects and income-generating activities that will reduce demand for scarce resources in the forests.
When the park is united with its neighbouring communities, it will reduce the levels of distructions like poaching,deafforestation among others.This is in the way that these communities get to know the importances of the park attached to their communities.
