{{The Minister of Natural Resources, Stanislas Kamanzi has urged local leaders in Nyagatare to mobilise residents to protect trees planted along the roads and on hills.}} <\/p>\n
The call was made during his tour at Tabagwe, Rwimiyaga and Karangazi sectors in Nyagatare where he found some planted trees were destroyed by cattle. <\/p>\n
Kamanzi urged leaders to address such careless behaviour among the population.<\/p>\n
A tree planting project is jointly run by Nyagatare District and RDF Reserve Force. The forestation process has covered about 1084 ha in the area in 18 months only. <\/p>\n
When visiting Nyagatare, Minister Stanislas Kamanzi was accompanied by the Deputy Reserve Force Commander, Maj Gen. Jerome Ngendahimana, other RDF officers and District Authorities.<\/p>\n

Current forest cover has reached 24% according to Minister Kamanzi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
