This has provided key insights into the functioning of the forest and is now allowing us to restore areas of forest that were degraded by logging or agricultural encroachment before Kibale became a park. We work with the community to remove invasive or hyper-aggressive species and plant in native seedlings grown in nurseries.</p> <h3 id="contact-information">Contact Information</h3> <p>Colin Chapman and Dipto Sarkar</p>https://kibale-ecology-conservation.netlify.app/authors/students_postdocs/emma/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://kibale-ecology-conservation.netlify.app/authors/students_postdocs/emma/<p>Emmanual Opito is investigating forest restoration in Kibale for his PhD thesis at Makerere University, focusing on restoration of sites after the removal of Acanthus plants.</p> <p>Working on his PhD to investigate Acanthus removal and replanting trees.</p>
