Conservation

Lutumbe Bay is one of Uganda's 33 Important Bird Areas and since 2006 a Ramsar-listed wetland of international importance.[1] The bay is notable for its population of as many as 1.5m white-winged tern.[2]

in 2013 a portion of the wetland was illegally filled with soil by the flower export giant Rosebud Ltd.[3]
