Afr - 118/119 Report - Uganda In carrying out this assessment, the team collected and studied key documents on the biology and policy aspects of biodiversity, where these existed. This written literature demonstrated many redundancies and conflicting statements, and data gaps were evident everywhere. Interviews with key government officials, biologists, and conservationists were held to clarify details and to get a more informal understanding of the real on-the-ground biodiversity conservation picture in Uganda. Finally, a focal group meeting of university biologists and some representative NGOs was held at Makerere University to gain a further appreciation for the biodiversity conservation needs and recommendations of those people deeply involved in work in the field.
