How agribusiness ruined a tropical island paradise – and how to restore it
Kalangala is a town located on Bugala Island, one of the 84 Ssese Islands on the Ugandan side of Lake Victoria. Only 43 of these islands are inhabited. The rest are mostly covered in plants, and some are used for fishing and conservation.
Known for its beautiful views, fishing and unique wildlife, Kalangala has long been a place where families made a living by fishing, collecting firewood and growing things like cassava, bananas and local vegetables.
