Non-renewable resources are resources that cannot be replace naturally once they are over-used or exhausted. Examples of renewable resources. • Plants • Animals • Water bodies • Land • Climate /rainfall/sunshine Examples of non-renewable resources • Minerals • Fossils fuel i.e. coal, oil, natural, gas Land • Land is the part of the earth that is not covered by water • Land supports most resources in the environment. 1 Importance of land • Land provides space for building houses / settlement. • Land is where crops are grown. • Land provides space for burying the dead. • Land provides space for grazing animals. • Minerals are mined from land. Problems facing land. • Dumping of garbage and toxic materials on land. • Over-cultivation • Deforestation • Land fragmentation • Soil erosion Possible solutions to some of the above problems. • Garbage should be used for other purposes like generation of biogas. • People should be encouraged to grow fodder crops for animals. • People should be encouraged to use manure and fertilizer. • Farmers should terrace their land to control soil erosion. • Educate the people about the benefits of re-afforestation. Note: There are things that people make to meet their needs and they are called human made resources. Examples include; - Electricity - Clothes - Shoes - Mobile phones - Books - Buildings - Vehicles - Drugs - Roads 2 Activity 1.

    MGNP General Management Plan 2014-2024 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) prepared this General Management Plan with total funding from Uganda Wildlife Authority. Consultations were held with all relevant stakeholders both at Resource use level, Subcounty level, District level and at National Level. Furthermore an analysis of stakeholders was done which gave guidance on the consultations made. Uganda Wildlife Authority highly acknowledges the Local Communities and the entire Kisoro district leadership, who contributed to the proposals during the Planning process. Prepared by: Uganda Wildlife Authority Input from: BMCA field staff, Senior UWA staff and stakeholders Guidance from: Uganda Wildlife Authority Top Management staff Drafted by: The Planning team Edited by: Edgar Buhanga and Richard Kapere as a secretariat of the planning team i MGNP General Management Plan 2014-2024 FOREWORD Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (33.7 km2) is contiguous with Parc National des Virunga (240 km2) in the DRC, and Parc National des Volcans (160 km2) in Rwanda, all forming the proposed transbound- ary PA known as the Virunga Conservation Area covering an area of 434 km2. The park includes three of the Virunga volcanoes - Mt Muhabura (4,127 m), Mt Gahinga (3,474 m) from which the park derives its name, and Mt Sabinyo (3,645 m). This park forms part of the home of the world’s Moun- tain Gorilla population and the Golden Monkey species. This document presents a ten-year management plan for Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (MGNP). Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) is committed to the continued sustainable management of the Park ecosystem. This can only be achieved through proper long term planning which government has already identified and provided for in the Uganda Wildlife Act (Cap 200).

Physical, chemical and biological factors of the water quality characteristics were collected and analysed. Objective The major objective for the study of minor lakes of Kisoro was to generate information required in formulation of development and management policies for enhancing increased and sustainable fish production. Specific objective To establish conditions that can promote increased and sustainable fish production. Methodology Using portable instruments, physical parameters (temperature, oxygen, PH, Conductivity were measured at different depths from surface to bottom of the water column from the water surface to the bottom. Water samples were collected using a verdom sampler at depth of 1m from the surface down to the bottom were for shallow lakes and 4m or above 30m were taken for deeper lakes. Water samples were taken to FIRRI laboratories for (nutrients, chlorophyll, and algal composition. Primary production was determined using the light and dark bottle method.
