| 3 FROM THE FIELD A date with the Nightjars Karamoja Apalis, why in MFNP all of a sudden? Trips to NP have always produced This is an East African endemic with the Ugandan surprising moments. In Jan 2011,having ended our population mostly seen in Mt Moroto areas. Having bird monitoring counts in Rabongo areas a bit late, monitored sites in Iriri for over 10 years, it was meant we were never going to reach Paraa earlier interesting to have this much localized species in than 8:00 pm. Time check 7:20 pm – 7:40 pm, about 10 two of our sites for the very first time in February Km on Sambiya – Rabongo road, we counted about 2011. Each of the sites had three individuals. Iriri 50 NightJars of different species mostly Standard - is about 70 Km from Mt Moroto but has many of winged, Slender - tailed and Long - tailed Nightjars. Acacia drepanolobium which is loved by this bird.

rd On 23 Dec 2010, a morning count, 6:00 am - 6:35 Could it be that the range for this bird is wider than am from Sambiya junction to Bugungu gate junction it was thought or could it be that there have been produced 17 male and 7 female Standard - winged Nightjars and 4 of other species. Another morning just some local movements? It is hard to believe count on 24th Dec 2010 revealed 33 male and 21 that we could have been ignoring single individuals female Standard – winged Nightjars, 4 Slender – tailed if they showed up and quickly disappeared. The Nightjars, a single Swamp Nightjar with 8 road kills. most ideal situation is the breeding record within We are always amazed with the short feeding time the surroundings which may inform conservation these birds have, not more than 30 minutes of active efforts time morning or evening.

4 PROJECTS Two new Collaborative Forest Management (CFM) agreements in Kasyoha Kitomi CFR In regards to CFM process in Uganda, NatureUganda has made a very remarkable achievement with a total of 11 agreements (4 with four sub counties around Echuya CFR in Kabale and Kisoro districts and 7 with 7 parishes surrounding Kasyoha Kitomi CFR in Bushenyi, Rubirizi, Nsiika and Ibanda districts) out of a total of 28 CFM agreements so far signed in the whole country.

Raising awareness in communities about the values of the forest and its resources, their rights to benefit from these resources and the process though which they can claim them has contributed greatly to successful implementation of the process. This involved production and distribution of information Agreement signing between NFA and Community chair posters, video shows, radio talk shows, community persons of Ndangaro and Mwongyera witnessed by NU, drama, exposure visits and community sensitization WWF, LG and community members meetings which aimed at increasing community understanding of the local, national and global PEMA II project aims at creating more sustainable values thus achievement of Nature Uganda’s and equitable forest utilization and management mission. focusing on rural communities. The lack of capacity in terms of skills and opportunity in civil society and With CFM agreements, there are good relationships local communities to manage environmental between NFA staff and communities thus fewer resources undermines the potential for sustainable conflicts. Community attitudes, knowledge and development. Therefore, strengthening institutions practices towards the forest are positive and better, and empowering these people are important communities are empowered to share authority strategy components. Through building partnerships and make decisions, co-management of the with a well informed and empowered community, forest through joint patrols with NFA thus improved this challenge can be met. community sense of ownership and responsibility in forest conservation.
