State of Uganda’s Biodiversity reports 2008
In common with almost all of the world, Uganda is losing its biodiversity – plants, animals and the places where they live – at a rapid rate. We know something of the loss of fish (probably 200 species from Lake Victoria alone) and large mammals (five to ten species): these were reviewed in BD 2006. Many others will have gone without our knowledge because Uganda lacks experts in many groups – spiders, moths, worms and most other invertebrates – and has very few who are knowledgeable in, for example, fungi, algae, mosses or reptiles.The report in summary, shows an analysis of trends of various taxas of biodiversity and as indices of Uganda’s biodiversity as a whole.
