Last year the government and water companies announced proposals to build nine new reservoirs by 2050.
"We don't give them any medication or supplementary feed," Mr Fisher says. "That would come through in their faeces and kill small insects like the dung beetle, which can help heal nature."The ponies had no problem coping with snow on the ground last winter.
"They used the hooves to pull back the snow and graze the vegetation. We were really happy with how they were over winter."Derbyshire Wildlife Trust's Living Landscape Officer Katie Last watched this year'swho say the changing climate is increasing the risk of fires, and says restoring landscapes with the aid of native breeds can help.
"Large grazing herbivores can help create a resilient landscape to wildfires," she says."The trampling and the grazing of vegetation will remove the existing fuel for the fires, and also [it] creates those open gaps and areas of bare ground that will stop the spread of wildfires."
But she says that is just one of the many benefits we gain from introducing large herbivores as part of rewilding projects.
"The way that they manage our grasslands, they're much better at capturing carbon in the ground. They don't overgraze, which gives the soil time to regenerate."Since then, hundreds of people have been evicted from their homes, subjected to violence or arrested because of their sexuality, according to Uganda's Human Rights Awareness and Promotion Forum (HRAPF).
But the World Bank says it is confident that new "mitigation measures" will allow it to roll out funding in such a way that does not harm or discriminate against LGBTQ people.The BBC has asked the Ugandan government and the World Bank for further comment.
"The World Bank cannot deliver on its mission to end poverty and boost shared prosperity on a liveable planet unless all people can participate in, and benefit from, the projects we finance, " a spokesman told the AFP news agency on Thursday, adding that the organisation had "worked with the [Ugandan] government and other stakeholders in the country to introduce, implement and test" anti-discrimination measures.New projects in "social protection, education, and forced displacement and refugees" have also been approved, an unnamed World Bank spokesperson told the Reuters news agency.
