1997

A six month focused ethnobotanical survey of swamp forest plant resources in selected areas in Uganda was undertaken. A checklist of useful "key" swamp forest plant resources was compiled through market surveys and Participatory Rural Appraisal(PRA) techniques. Of these, six were species established as threatened. Major uses documented include; timber production, craftwork, construction and to a lesser extent, food supplements. Threats to the sustainable use of key species are discussed and challenges to address their conservation are highlighted.
