“A long time ago this forest belonged to us, and we used it to get the things we needed. But since it became a national park, we have been forbidden from going into the forest at all, and we are now expected to protect the wild animals even when they come and destroy the crops on our farms.” Mariiro Sadayo, over 60 years old, has lived all his life on a small farm on the edge of the renowned Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, in south-western Uganda. Increased conservation efforts by the government over the past two decades have progressively reduced his access to critical livelihood needs of firewood, medicines, timber and meat. Rising numbers of game animals - monkeys, elephants and bushpigs - mean that damage to his fields and crops has steadily increased.
