What is a threat to this reserve?
Whereas Uganda Wildlife Authority provides local communities part of the proceeds from tourism as a way to curb down poaching practices, it is believed that this protected area is still highly threatened by unchecked encroachers especially herdsmen from Kenya side. Normally, cattle keepers cross over to the reserve via porous borders and drive their animals into the wildlife reserve, hunt down wildlife species for meat, cut down trees to pave way for them to settle and this practice scares off incredible bird species and wildlife which are main attractions to most visitors on Uganda safari.
