Activists on the save Mabira campaign want government to back off from its plans to sell off Mabira to allow it to be made economically viable.

Addressing the press in parliament, Kitgum woman Member of Parliament Beatrice Anywar Atim says that they are in a process of creating a foundation for Mabira forest.

She says that the project will create jobs and generate income for government and the people who live around Mabira forest.

Anywar has started a campaign code named save Mabira phase 2 following media reports that government is on a fresh move to give away part of the famous forest to investors.
