Zoka Forest is a natural tropical rain forest which is uniquely located as the only Tropical high forest (THF), Woodland, and Savanah in the Northern part of Uganda. With rich biodiversity of flora and fauna a potential tourism attraction site, the forest reserve has been threatened by illegal timber exploitation, encroachment as well as human settlement and agriculture. Zoka forest faces the risk of extinction if the current plunder of the forest by alleged government officials and communities is not combated. The increased destruction of Zoka Forest has led to loss of ecological services in Adjumani District that impact adversely on the livelihood of local communities. Consequently, there is increased degradation of environment in form of reduction of tree cover, increased water stress, declining soil fertility and loss of biodiversity. This in turn disrupts local livelihoods causing food insecurity, poor health for especially women and girls as they have to commute for long distances looking for firewood, water and food. FoZ currently serves as the lead partner in environmental advocacy in Uganda.
