Wetland habitat map of Lake George

The wetland habitat map, generated by GlobWetland Africa, provides a detailed map of the Lake George wetlands and the surrounding area. Lake George was designated in 1988 as Uganda’s first Ramsar site, given its importance as a centre for biological diversity. The city of Kasese can be seen in bright red. Signs of agricultural encroachment into the Ramsar site can be seen along the northern boundary.
