| dc.description.abstract | The study assessed wetland ecosystem degradation in Bussi Island Wakiso
district. Specifically the study assessed people’s knowledge of wetland ecosystem
conservation in Bussi islands and investigated people’s beliefs related to wetland
ecosystem degradation in Bussi islands. Data was collected using questionnaire
and interview guides. The study used a sample size of 72 respondents. At the end
of the study, it was confirmed that people’s knowledge and beliefs were the
underlying cause of wetland ecosystem degradation in Bussi Islands. Therefore, it
was reached that wetland ecosystem degradation in Bussi Island is highly
dependent on people’s knowledge and beliefs that are too diverse and destroying.
The study thus, recommended that there is a need to challenge people’s beliefs
and knowledge through sensitization, workshops, poverty alleviation and
education so as they can change their beliefs towards wetland ecosystem. | en_US |
