Abstract

The major objective of this study lied in finding out whether there was a relationship between technological advancement and environmental conservation in Kisoro Municipality, Kisoro district. Other objectives included; to find out the extent of environmental conservation in Kisoro Municipality and to find out the level of technological advancement in Kisoro Municipality. The study adopted a descriptive and observational research design and simple random probability sampling technique was used to obtain a sample size of 80 respondents from a target population of 45 residents in Kisoro Municipality using solvin’s formula. The investigator discovered an extremely favorable connection between technological development and conserving the environment at r = 0.707, and since the sig. value (.000) was far below the threshold of importance required to declare an important connection between scientific growth and conserving the environment, this suggests that the level of technological development in a region has a significant impact on the rate of ecological preservation. The study came to the conclusion that there has been little improvement in technology, and that this is due to both low innovation and poverty. The investigator came to the additional conclusion that human activities such deforestation, bush burning, marsh restoration, and inadequate sewage disposal contributed to the district of Rukungiri's limited environmental conservation. The investigator advised the government to sufficiently educate the public on the value of environmental research.miu.ac.ug/publications 543 METROPOLITAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH RESEARCH ISSN: 1813-4270 Vol. 2 Issue 3, June - 2023, Pages: 543-559 preservation.
