Tenure in Mystery collates information on land under conservation, forestry and mining in the Karamoja region. Whereas significant changes in the status of land tenure took place with the Parliamentary approval for degazettement of approximately 54% of the land area under wildlife conservation in 2002, little else happened to deliver this update to the beneficiary communities in the region.

of thousands of Myanmar émigrés have in recent years crossed the border into
Thailand
in search of a better life.
For the estimated 2 million Myanmar migrants now living there,
