Rainforests in Uganda

Uganda is home to several significant rainforests, including the renowned Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the Mabira Forest. These rainforests are rich in biodiversity, hosting numerous endemic species of flora and fauna, including the endangered mountain gorilla. The forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and local climate regulation while providing livelihoods for surrounding communities through eco-tourism and sustainable resource use. However, they face threats from deforestation, agriculture, and climate change, highlighting the need for conservation efforts.
