		According to Uganda Bureau of Statistics Statistical Abstract 2004, Kalangala District comprises 9,068.3 sqkm, out of which 8,600 sqkm are open water, 0.3sqkm permanent wetlands and 468sqkm land.
		If 200sqkm are made into plantations, it means that 42.74% of the islands will be used for this purpose, while 57.26% will remain for the islanders and whatever wildlife that will survive.
		The Kalangala oil palm project is of such a magnitude that I assume the EIA must comprise several volumes dealing with various effects on a great number of environmental topics.
