This study investigated the efficacy of government policies in advancing environmental conservation in Kabale district, Uganda. Employing a cross-sectional survey design, a comprehensive mixed-method approach rooted in pragmatism philosophy was utilized to explore this phenomenon. Through simple random sampling, 347 respondents engaged in Sustainable Land Management practices were selected from a target population of 2639 within Rubaya, Butanda, Kamuganguzi, and Kitumba Sub-counties. Additionally, 25 key informants were purposively selected for in-depth interviews. The questionnaire was self-administered to ensure diverse perspectives from the 347 participants actively involved in sustainable land management practices such as agroforestry, crop rotation, trenches and check dams and mulching, resulting in 280 completed and returned questionnaires. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted. The research findings reveal a positive correlation between government policies and environmental protection. The quantitative analysis, particularly the regression study, demonstrates a statistically significant and positive relationship between government policy and environmental preservation. These results align with qualitative insights gleaned from interviews, where participants acknowledged existing government policies but highlighted challenges in their execution due to inadequate funding and human resources. Consequently, the null hypothesis (H05) asserting no significant relationship between current government policies and environmental protection in Kabale district, Uganda, was refuted. The study concludes that government policy exerts a substantial impact on environmental conservation in Kabale district, Uganda. Recommendations stem from this conclusion, emphasizing strategies such as heightened awareness and education, enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, formulation and enforcement of supportive policies, establishment of robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, continued support from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the fostering of collaborative knowledge-sharing platforms. Policy improvements, intergovernmental coordination, resource allocation, stakeholder engagement, and enhanced policy implementation mechanisms are advocated to fortify environmental conservation efforts. In summary, this study underscores the pivotal role of government policies in driving environmental protection in Kabale district, Uganda, while advocating actionable steps to optimize policy implementation, interorganizational coordination, resource allocation, stakeholder collaboration, and policy execution mechanisms for the betterment of environmental conservation endeavors.
