Lake Bunyonyi is located in southwestern Uganda, between greater Kabale and Kisora regions – a serene, beautiful, historic place comprised of 29 islands, formulated roughly 18,000 years ago by a volcanic eruption. It takes its name from the over 200 species of small birds that inhabit the area. 

Lake Bunyonyi’s 29 island communities have tilled the hills of this land with enduring strength and skills. Indigenous inhabitants, the present Bakiga and Batwa, lived sustainably as forest dwellers and hunter-gatherers for thousands of years – until over time a number of factors influenced change. High population growth, climate change, unsustainable agriculture practices, and change of land use patterns, have left the local, rural people increasingly vulnerable.
