Q: Could you please help provide a sample justification for my topic about diversity of tree species in the regenerating area of Kibale National Park?

Dear Author,

A strong justification for a field-based study on tree species diversity in a regenerating forest should begin by briefly introducing the study area and explaining why it is ecologically or managerially important. It should then identify the specific gap or problem being addressed, such as the lack of basic information on species composition or recovery status in that site.

The justification should clearly state the purpose of the study, for example to document or assess tree diversity as an indicator of regeneration. It should also explain why this work matters, linking it to forest recovery, conservation planning, or learning outcomes from the field exercise. Because the work was done during a short school field trip, the justification should define the scope of what was measured and acknowledge the time and sampling limitations, while explaining that rapid or simplified methods were used to produce a meaningful snapshot rather than a full inventory.

Finally, it should state what the study is expected to produce, such as a species list, basic diversity measures, or baseline data for future comparison, and how these outputs make the study worthwhile despite its small scale.
