Important Bird Areas
Important Bird Areas are sites of global conservation importance identified using birds to locate key sites for conservation across the globe. They are practical tools for conservation. Important Bird Areas are identified using standard internationally agreed criteria, which are; objective, quantitative and scientifically defensible. They must however, be large enough to support self-sustaining populations of those species for which they are important.
The five institutions that are helping in monitoring Important Bird Areas alongside Nature Uganda are Uganda Wildlife Authority , National Forest Authority , Wetlands Management Department and National Biodiversity Data Bank . These institutions help in management, monitoring and research through various departments. The units involved in information management and community conservation are extremely vital to the processes of Important Bird Areas monitoring. The community conservation programs comprise revenue sharing projects, resource utilization, community tourism, conservation education and creation of institutional linkages.
Uganda Wildlife Authority staff is monitoring 10 National Parks and 3 Wildlife Reserves, National Forest Authority staff are monitoring the 7 main Central Forest Reserves while Wetlands Management Department monitors wetland Important Bird Areas/ Ramsar sites. There are four Ramsar sites that are either wholly or partly in national parks. These sites are therefore jointly monitored by the two authorities.
