BWINDI IMPENETRABLE FOREST NATIONAL PARK
Bwindi is a true African rainforest, and is considered one of the most biologically diverse in Africa. It is over 25,000 years old and spans an area that varies between 1160 m and 2600 m. Over half of the world's mountain gorillas live here and the population is increasing from year to year.
In addition to 10 other primate species, there are over 129 mammal species, 360 bird species, 163 tree species, 51 reptile species, 202 butterfly species and 88 moth species. This vast forest area has great conservation value. Not only because of the rich biodiversity, but also for the locals who mainly live from agriculture. The connection between wildlife, people, culture and ecology is and will be evident.
