Can Governance in Revenue Sharing Be a Pathway for a Win-win Situation between People’s Livelihood Improvement and Conservation?
(Journal of Social Science Research, 2015-05-25)This paper establishes the importance of good governance in improving local livelihoods and support for conservation. The study uses empirical realities from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, an afromontane Gorilla sanctuary ... -
Can Governance in Revenue Sharing Be a Pathway for a Win-win Situation between People’s Livelihood Improvement and Conservation?
(2005)This paper establishes the importance of good governance in improving local livelihoods and support for conservation. The study uses empirical realities from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, an afromontne Gorilla sanctuary ... -
How selective are elephants as agents of forest tree damage in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda?
(African Journal of Ecology, 2013)Elephants are locally concentrated in Bwindi Impenetra ble National Park. Vegetation damage attributable to elephants appears to be increasing and may result in the modification of the forest. We examined the implied ... -
A preliminary assessment of large mammal and bird use of different habitats in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
(African Journal of Ecology, 2011)Understanding species distributions, habitat requirements, and population trends is helpful for implementing effective conservation. But expense often prevents such evaluations. Here, we present a preliminary assessment ... -
Variability of Soil Organic Carbon stocks under different land uses: A study in an afro-montane landscape in southwestern Uganda
(Geoderma, 2013)We explore and compare quantities and patterns of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) in protected forest and neighboring land around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (a mountain protected area in Southwestern Uganda). We assessed ... -
A variable edge effect on trees of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, and its bearing on measurement parameters
(Biological Conservation, 2009-01-21)With tropical forests under increased pressure from fragmentation and nascent effects of climate change, it is imperative to reliably predict change for timely reduction of impacts. This depends on measuring the right ...
