February 29, 2008

Fauna and Flora:
Bwindi supports a number of biodiversity. This is due to its slopes extending over a wide range  of altitude (1447), which creates room for growth of vegetation of 2600m and a law land forest  at 1160m.

The forest has been in existence since 18000 years ago when almost all Africa’s forests were  reduced down due to arid conditions.

Over the last 25000 years Bwindi’s vegetation has been wearing itself while most of today’s  forests cannot leave for over 12000 years. Bwindi is congested with a number of species, which  stand to include 200 tree species. Over 120 types of mammal including 10 primates, and 8 months  51 reptiles and over 310 species of butterfly. The new comers include chimpanzee, blue and red  tailed monkey L’hoest’s block and white.
Colobus baboons and finally not forgetting the famous mountain gorilla residents.

For bird watchers, this is the right destination in the whole of Africa since the forest is  covered with over 350 species of birds which include ICUN listed red data in a group, while the  90% of Albertine Rift endemics are difficult to see in the whole of Africa.
