Cover Story: Natural landscapes are susceptible to rapidly and slowly occurring environmental changes due to human–land interactions. We employed drone mapping and community insights (household surveys (n = 499), FGDs, and interviews) to assess land use changes, degradation, and restoration in Mount Elgon, Uganda, from 2020 to 2023. Results show that agriculture and planted forest were dominant, replacing tropical high forest, bushland, and grassland. Smallholder subsistence farming is leading to degradation (soil erosion, landslides, and encroachment). Trenches were the most widely adopted restoration measure, though they varied by location and crop type. Trenches, grass strips, and afforestation are adopted for restoration. Diversified livelihoods and collaboration are crucial for enforcing conservation in Mt. Elgon. View this paper
