Adjumani District Council is pushing for a comprehensive study to establish the full ecological potential of the threatened Zoka Central Forest, aiming to spur eco-friendly investments and halt further forest degradation. 

Zoka Forest, recognized as the largest tropical rainforest in Northern Uganda, hosts a rich variety of flora and fauna, including little-researched wild coffee species and flying squirrels. However, the ecosystem remains under severe pressure from illegal commercial charcoal burning, logging, and encroachment.
