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/patrick/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://kibale-ecology-conservation.netlify.app/authors/patrick/<p>Patrick received his Ph.D. from at Makerere University with stints abroad at McGill University and is now a Senior Research Fellow at Makerere.
