Geography
This island is still largely uninhabited, unlike its neighbour, the densely populated Migingo Island.[1] Only one family lives on the island in recent periods due to the overpopulation of the neighboring island of Migingo and the lack of space for agriculture and livestock. The island is home to goats and white herons.
