Uganda: National Forestry Authority threatens to cancel Tian Tang eco-tourism licence over conservation concerns

"NOT 4 SALE: NFA Declares War on Chinese Investor Over Entebbe’s Kitubulu Forest Destruction", Mulengera News, 14 October 2025

The National Forestry Authority (NFA) has threatened to cancel the eco-tourism licence previously offered to Tian Tang Group, the Chinese company linked to billionaire Paul Zhang, in Entebbe’s Kitubulu Forest Reserve.

The move comes after reports yesterday suggested the government had quietly allocated 150 acres of the same forest to Zhang for a massive development project, sparking outrage among environmentalists and local leaders.

[...] the authority originally granted Tian Tang 60 hectares to establish an eco-tourism park, with a 50-year licence contingent on completing environmental and social impact assessments within a two-year probation period, and any deviation from the conditions [...] could lead to licence cancellation.

Officials are concerned that Tian Tang’s proposed “alternative city” in the forest would undermine conservation efforts [...].
