  • SET III Living Together in East Africa
    SET III Living Together in East Africa. Major Resources of East Africa. Meaning of resources/Examples. A resource is a feature in the environment that man uses to satisfy their /his needs. Types of natural resources. Renewable resources. Renewable resources are resources that can be replaced naturally once they are over- exploited. 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.

  • Acknowledgments
    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, ALGAL COMPOSITION AND PRIMARY PRODUCITON IN THE FOUR KISORO MINOR LAKES BYMAGUMBA MK Introduction The study was conducted between 1998 and 1999. 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.

  • Fish Statstics Report 1956
    PART III - FISHERIES 189. A brief general account of the year's progress in fisheries has been given in the foreword to this report, whilst detailed accounts of departmental activities in the Lake Albert and George/Edward regions and in fish farming have been prepared by the officers responsible, and follow in later pages. The report for Lake Kyoga is based on infonnation and statistics supplied by the Fisheries Assistant in charge of the area. SECTION I.-ADMINISTRATION Staff 190. Fisheries Officers.-Lists of the fisheries staff, showing their stations and areas of responsibility, are given in the appendices to this report. There were no changes of senior personnel during the year and the fact that all stations have had the same staff for several years has led to continuity of development and a feeling of confidence in the Department and its schemes amongst the fishermen. 191. Two additional posts of Fisheries Development Officers ~ere created and filled by Africans, one by the Engineering Assistant on promotion and the other by the appointment of a Makerere College science trainee. One of the officers was put on fish farming extension work and the other on general development duties. It is encouraging to. the older members of the Department that educated Africans with a genuine interest in fisheries work are now coming forward for these and other senior posts. 192. Fisheries Assistants and Fish Guards.-Additional posts of one Fisheries Assistant and two ltF'ish Guarcfg... were created to provide for increased developments in fish fanning. The establishment was thus brought up to five Fisheries Assistants and sixty Fish Guards.
