Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on earth; they are areas permanently or periodically waterlogged which offers the neighboring communities sociocultural, economic and ecological values. In the past, people in Uganda have used wetlands as a source of building materials, crafts, furniture, and places to go hunting and fishing. In this study, wetland resilience around Walugogo Wetland in Iganga Town Council, Iganga District, was examined in relation to the effects of growing urbanization. The goal of this study was to catalog the various activities that take place surrounding Ngaiga Wetland, the methods by which neighborhood residents are made aware of environmental issues, and the sustainable environmental awareness practices used by these groups around Walugogo Wetland. Simple random sampling was utilized to choose a sample of people who worked and lived near the marsh as part of the study's data gathering techniques, which included both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were gathered by observation, photographing, open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires, observations, interviews, and reviews of pertinent literature. SPSS was used to evaluate quantitative data. SPSS stands for statistical package for social scientists. The correlation of the data variables was determined using straightforward descriptive statistics like percentages and frequency distributions. The findings revealed that the main industries near the Walugogo wetland were agriculture, brick production, sand mining, and crafts, with brick production leading the pack at 44%. The outcomes further demonstrated that the operations were having a detrimental effect on the wetland. The findings specifically identified sand mining, agricultural invasion, and the exploitation of clay for brickmaking as the key activities significantly impacting the environment. According to the study, the lack research.miu.ac.ug/publications 869 of understanding and knowledge of the wetland's values, uses, and norms was what caused the environmental deterioration that the activities had caused. People should be educated on the benefits, uses, and significance of wetlands, the study suggested. A new activity should be added, like fish farming, that does not destroy the wetland but rather helps it become economically viable. The report also suggests that appropriate rules be developed to speed up environmentally acceptable sand and brick clay mining in the wetland.
