A
first of it's kind in Uganda; a tri-partite Contractual Agreement has
been established between the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the Hoima
District Local Government and Lake Albert Safaris Ltd for the
management of the Kabwoya Wildlife Reserve.
The
Kabwoya Wildlife Reserve has great significance, as it is part of the
Albertine Rift of Uganda, which is famous for its' variety of
landscapes and ecosystems and biological diversity. This diversity is
maintained in the continuous string of forest reserves and wildlife
protected areas. The areas extend from Mgahinga National Park in the
south to Murchison Falls in the north.
The
Kabwoya-Kaiso Wildlife Management Area is a significant protected zone
within these disrupted ecosystems of western Uganda. It comprises a
200-sq.km shelf of land between the Albertine Rift escarpment and Lake
Albert itself. It is the only ecologically intact area of savannah
along the 200 km stretch of Lake Albert shoreline between Toro-Semliki
Wildlife Reserve in the south and Murchison Falls National Park in the
north. In it's position in the Rift and in it's proximity to the large
Bugoma Forest Reserve, the Kabwoya-Kaiso Wildlife Management Area is of
great importance in maintaining corridors for genetic flow in the
Albertine Rift.
