Introduction Background

The natural resources of the Kagera river basin, which rises in Burundi and flows through Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania into Lake Victoria, are facing increasing pressures and degradation as a result of population pressures, intensification of agricultural and livestock activities and unsustainable land use systems and management practices. The Transboundary Agro-ecosystems Management Programme for the Lower Kagera Basin (TAMP), through an integrated catchment and ecosystem management approach, is expected to enable national and local stakeholders to combat degradation, rehabilitate degraded lands by ensuring the productive and sustainable use of the biodiversity resources and agricultural ecosystems. Implementation of the TAMP is expected to achieve local and global environmental benefits (biodiversity conservation, protection of international waters, mitigating of climate change effects through enhanced carbon sequestration) and protect the integrity of the ecosystems of the lower Kagera Basin. The TAMP will comprise the component resources management and development action plans for a) the agro-pastoral system and b) the intensive cropping system (essentially banana based), taking into account the interaction between these two broad target ecosystems and with highland systems in the upper catchment and the wetlands and riverine system. It will include the modalities that will need to be put in place during implementation of the full project: (i) firstly, to bring about a change from unsustainable practices into appropriate land management practices in the short and long term and to thereby harness global environmental benefits; and (ii) secondly, to accelerate equitable income growth and promote improved access to necessary information, resources, technologies and markets in order to address poverty and to reduce vulnerability of the poor who depend on the natural resources. Development of Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatially referenced information about the Kagera river basin is a key step in capacity building and developing the knowledge base of local people to improve management of the ecosystem. In the full TAMP, the system is to be made available to decision makers / land users at many different levels (ideally to sector level) – enabling communities to have the information available to make informed decisions to bring about change towards more productive and sustainable agricultural systems. In the process of formulation of the program through the project development phase (PDF-B), there is a need for a review of the status and trends of land use and its impact on the Kagera basin natural resources. FAO has made a contract with the National University of Rwanda to conduct a study within its Centre for GIS and Remote Sensing, and the specific tasks to be undertaken are outlined below. The Kagera Basin in Rwanda Rwanda is a small mountainous, landlocked country covering 26,338 km2 with 8,16 million people and an average population density of about 317 people per km2; it is characterized by vast hills and mountains interspersed with valleys. In spite of its spatial exiguity, Rwanda is covered with diversified ecosystems: natural ecosystems constituted by ombrophiles forests of mountain like Nyungwe with 89,450 ha in 1999, Mukura with 1600 ha, Gishwati estimated between 20 and 700 ha remaining area, the Volcano national park with 12,720 ha; forests galleries with 163 ha and wooded areas covered 256,300 ha.(National strategy and action plan for the conservation of biodiversity in Rwanda, April 2003).


Rapid changes in the state and extent of Rwanda's natural resources give rise to a growing environmental concern. The scarcity of water and other renewable resources in Rwanda has reached an alarming stage. Arable land, natural forests and water resources have been depleted in some areas due mainly to human activities. It is reported that Rwandan natural forests have been reduced to 30 percent of their original area; some rivers and lake levels have decreased considerably, and a considerable arable land top layer has been washed away by erosion. The need to manage these resources in a more sustainable way is widely acknowledged. There is a need for a review of the status and trends of land use and its impact on the Kagera basin natural resources. Water resource and Environmental Management Water resources are one of the key constituent of the environment. In Rwanda, water resources only comprise groundwater, surface water (lakes, streams, and wetlands), and the atmosphere. Environmental problems are increasingly understood to play an important role in increasing human vulnerability, undermining livelihoods and human well being, creating instability, and potentially generating or exacerbating violent conflict. The depletion of water resources, degradation of arable land, decimation of forests, alteration of natural cycles and ecosystems are among the principal concerns. Like in other developing countries, different environmental problems in Rwanda can be traced to various roots, but common underlying causes typically include demographic pressures and distributive inequities in poorer societies. Water Resources Management is a part of Environmental management. That means it covers the issues of environmental degradation, quality of the global environment, and the condition of life. On our planet life exists because of water. Water is an important element for the existing of vegetation and animal species, and thereby also one of the most important factors controlling human livelihood. In Rwanda, Akagera river basin comprise more than 90 percent of its area, that means it is an important reserve of natural resources of the country. But, forests and natural reserves in Rwanda are subject to high human pressure and the rate of deforestation is very high. This massive deforestation combined with the abandonment and destruction of erosion control systems, particularly following the displacement of the population caused by the 1994 war and genocide, greatly contribute to the degradation of the bare land on steep slopes and hills. The use of marshes and depressions for agricultural and pastoral activities after drainage, no matter how elementary or rudimentary, leads to the destruction of natural vegetation, causes hydric imbalances and affects the survival of the fauna and flora of these ecosystems. Landscape, Land use, land loss Farming remains the predominant activity in Rwanda. The majority of the population living in rural areas primarily depend on farming for their livelihood where production of crops, livestock keeping and forestry are reported to be the main means of obtaining food and income. Agricultural development is a key issue for producing more food and entails not only the issue of crops production, but also livestock and forestry produced for domestic purposes. When it comes to analyze the status of farm production in Rwanda, it is observed that the population is facing a crisis. This is due to the failure to adequately supply the population with food, leading to malnutrition and exaggerated poverty. The crisis results in reduced food security for a majority of the population. According to different sources, a large proportion of farmers push their land to the limit without using enough fertilizer, manure and compost, without protecting the land with terraces and bunds, and push their farming out into the commons to survive. As a result of the high population growth in Rwanda, there is a rapid reduction of the size of family farmlands. This land shortage has necessitated the occupation and development of land which is unsuitable for agriculture. Crops are planted on slopes and occupy up to more than 80% of land recognized as more marginal. In addition, erosion due to cultivation on excessively steep slopes


without any techniques for erosion control or soil and water management and conservation, together with their excessive exploitation, make soils in Rwanda prone to continuous degradation. Land losses are considerable and are estimated at 557 tonnes/ha per year at the most. These losses concern all types and the solid load of sediments carried by river Nyabarongo that varies between 51 kg/s at Nyabarongo-Kigali, 44 kg/s at Nyabarongo-Kanzenze, and 26 kg/s at Akagera-Rusumo. The variation gap of these losses ranges between 33 and 288 kg of dry matter per second. Another important rural activity consuming large space is related to livestock keeping. Overgrazing affects particularly the Eastern regions of the country where cattle treading promotes the degradation of the soils already weakened by severe sunny periods and facilitates the progression of the desert. The Umutara region alone has more than 30% of the country’s livestock. From these high numbers follow very extensive degradation of the soils and serious loss of their fertility and increased water and wind erosion. Agriculture and livestock keeping, like elsewhere in Rwanda, are the most widespread modifications to the environment associated with human activities in Kigali Ngali, Kibungo and Umutara Provinces. However, a complex variety of land use activities exist depending upon biophysical and human inputs, which combine to transform natural ecosystems into simpler forms designed to produce for responding to human consumption. Those transformations are evidently associated with certain environmental problems resulting mainly from deforestation, soil erosion, water pollution, etc. Within agricultural production there is an integral link between land-based activity and accompanying modification of the natural environment. This modification produces an agri-ecosystem in which an ecological system is overlain by socio-economic elements and processes. In agricultural systems, natural ecosystems are modified to increase productivity through control of soil fertility, vegetation, fauna and microclimate. This may generate undesirable environmental consequences. In Kigali Ngali, Kibungo and Umutara Provinces, the simplest way to increase agricultural output has always been the increase of the area of land that is farmed (whether in crops or pasture for livestock). This has been the process whereby, over last decades, large proportions of the land surface have been brought under cultivation. The pressure to produce more food to supply growing population in the area has also led to exploitation of more marginal lands giving lower yields and a higher risk of crop failure, and greater risk of damage to the underlying biophysical base through erosion, drought, etc. Moreover, land availability having a limit, an alternative to expansion onto new land has been intensification of production on the land already cultivated, which is not necessarily increasing the output per unit area of land. This is evident in Kagera Basin where farmers fail to maintain soil fertility and face the problems associated with long-term intensive cultivation such as pests, diseases, soil erosion and salinization. In fact, the increasing human and animal pressures have led to intensification of land use and unsustainable practices. The most developed phenomena include: overgrazing of pastures, excess bush burning, continuous crop production through reduced fallow and rotations, intensive tillage and over-exploitation of forest. Pressures on degraded resources are also leading to the encroachment of subsistence cropping into the more fragile and marginal drier areas that were previously reserved for pasture and grazing and into the wetlands. Population pressures, insecurity and the struggle to meet short term needs have compromised the capacity of farming communities to sustain the land resources even though it is in their best interests. The Kagera Basin on Rwandan side is particularly characterized by the increasing human and animal pressures that have led to intensification of land use and unsustainable practices. The most developed phenomena include: overgrazing of pastures, excess bush burning, continuous crop production through reduced fallow and rotations, intensive tillage and over-exploitation of forest. Pressures on degraded resources are also leading to the encroachment of subsistence cropping into the more fragile and marginal drier areas that were previously reserved for pasture and grazing and into the wetlands. Population pressures, insecurity and the struggle to meet short term needs have compromised the capacity of farming communities to sustain the land resources even though it is in their best interests.


The changes in land use and management practices to meet increasing demands (food, fibre, fuel, income, etc.) are negatively affecting soil health and productivity, the quantity and quality of water resources and the diversity and productivity of biological resources. Impacts include soil nutrient mining exacerbated by reduced vegetative cover and poor soil management, including compaction due to tillage and crop residue burning, which result in low organic matter, poor rainfall infiltration and retention, high runoff and accelerated soil erosion. It is recognized that conventional agriculture systems have contributed to land resources degradation through destructive tillage systems, the mining of soil nutrients, reduced diversity of crop and forage species/varieties and unsustainable harvesting of fuel wood. This has been accompanied by neglect of the importance of agricultural biodiversity and the ecological functions to which it contributes. Evidence of degradation includes lower crop yields, lower livestock productivity per unit area, fewer plant and animal species and less diversity, including the loss of traditional crop varieties and animal races. The traditional practice of frequent burning of savanna grasslands to generate pasture regrowth and of crop residues to reduce disease outbreaks, as well as repetitive tillage and crop harvesting and reduced fallows and expansion of arable lands, results in reduced biomass. The natural resource base and environmental integrity of the Kagera basin are threatened by these unprecedented socio-economic and environmental pressures and by the resource-depleting survival strategies of the rural poor to meet their short-term needs. These unsustainable practices have pushed a certain number of people in rural areas in initiating off-farm activities in trying to struggle for meeting those short terms need. Such activities are developed in informal sector and comprised (among others) of commerce transportation handicraft, hunting, education and temporary job providing wages. Geo-information Management for Development Water and other natural resources management require availability of geo-information. Environmental management, generally, require three different kinds of information. Firstly, the status of particular environmental indicators or variables must be estimated, For instance, where are most polluted sites? Where are the most and least productive soils? What is the land use in the region? Such”What is where” questions are answered by individual surveys or observations. The second type of geo-information of interest to natural resources managers is change over time. Typical questions may include: what is the change of the forested area in southeast Rwanda? How many hectares of agricultural land were abandoned in eastern Rwanda since 1990? The “what is changing where” questions are answered by multiple observations over a time period. Thirdly, mangers are interested in projections, both spatially and temporally; such projections may be characterized by “what will be where” questions. For example: what will happen with water resources if we develop irrigation? Of the three questions, the “what will be where” type is most difficult to answer. In practice, we see that it is impossible to answer that question with great precision. Instead of a crisp prediction, we see the development of scenarios that represent possible lines of development. At present, the availability of this type of information is limited but new information technologies make possible the development of more advanced systems of data gathering and analysis which can accurately and regularly inform a variety of users of the status and trends of land use and its impact on the Kagera basin natural resources: Remote Sensing (RS) can support management as it has the unique capability to collect information over extensive areas at a repetitive basis, and the Geographic Information systems (GIS) the spatial analysis and the mapping of events in space. Therefore, this project intends to propose the development of GIS based Information System for the Lower Akarega river basin in Rwanda. The project will be realized by the Centre for Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing of the National University of Rwanda (CGIS-NUR). The CGIS-NUR will work in close collaboration with other relevant units of the university, and more


specifically with the Departments of Biology and Geography of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology and the Faculty of Agriculture. Objectives of the study and terms of reference Overall Objective

To develop of Geographical Information System (GIS) database about the Kagera river basin in Rwanda, using up-to-date GIS and Remote Sensing techniques. Specific Objectives

1. Develop a computerised GIS (using the ESRI Arc suite of software) including (see list in Annex 2):

• base-line data at appropriate scales, upon which agricultural and other land users and decision makers can make sound, accurate and timely decisions;

• available “legacy” (historical) data, to quantify changing elements in the landscape, particularly vegetation, land use and population datasets.

And • be able to incorporate new datasets as they become available(e.g. results from transect

/ comparative field studies); • enable projections to be made (e.g. extrapolate results of beneficial projects) in time

and space across the basin, by developing scenarios; • be developed with a view to linking the Rwanda system with systems covering the

Kagera river basin in Tanzania, Uganda and possibly Burundi.

The data held in the GIS should be reliable, verifiable, geo-referenced, up-datable and accompanied by appropriate “meta data” (information on the methodology used to collect the data, limitations of the data etc). The system must also be capable of including / analysing satellite imagery, as this is likely to form a major source of spatial data at the synoptic scale of the watershed and can be used in multi-temporal analyses (e.g. of vegetation – which reflects the effects of a range of changing factors, including climate, soils, topography and human influence). The focus will be to gain a good understanding of the status and trends in the cropping and agro pastoral systems and their effects on the wider environment. The information should serve different needs such as information on resources degradation, sustainable use and productivity (agricultural, forest and wetland products), food security, and habitats and use in biodiversity / poverty mapping).

(The centre should undertake to be responsible for the secure storage of spatial data, including use of a reliable back-up power supply and regular “backing-up” of the system to protect from fluctuations in power supply / computer viruses etc.)

2. Begin spatial analysis of the data collected, including interpretation of any available up-to-date digital satellite images. During PDF-B (to March 2006), the priority is to begin to quantify the processes working across the river basin in Rwanda, linking poverty and environmental degradation to get an understanding of the driving forces of change, specific pressures on resources and locate areas undergoing most serious degradation and areas/communities where sustainable resources management practices are being implemented.

3. Working with the National Project Coordinator, other Rwandan contributors and the IC-NRM/GIS, contribute to the TAMP Rwanda field assessments, to verify the diagnosis at local/community; land use/farming system and river basin level scales to provide data for GIS analyses of the effects of projects / interventions and even policies (to the extent possible), in time and space across the river basin.

4. Contribute to collecting the database inventory of available reports, maps, aerial photograph, satellite images, digital data and scientific articles related to land use and natural resources


management in the Kagera basin; also relevant studies addressing human & land use, resource management, degradation and agro-biodiversity which have been conducted in recent years in the Kagera basin and in other areas of Rwanda to build on national experience and knowledge of assessment and monitoring in developing the project baseline. [These are likely to include relevant reports and assessment of certain components of the agro-biodiversity including fisheries and forestry, e.g. animal and plant genetic resources, wetlands, livestock stocking densities etc. as well as measures of land degradation, population movements and settlements.]

5. Prepare two reports on the analyses, including digital maps (at appropriate scales) and quantitative analyses. The first report should include an analysis of the situation today (baseline) and, where possible, recent change. The final report, due by January 2006 (note - date to be agreed with AGLL, FAORAF, FAO in country) should include predictions following agreed scenarios (with project / without project) for use by the project team. This will be developed through workshops and linkages with a range of technical experts with in depth knowledge of the agro-environmental and human development issues in the river basin. The contracted institute would play a key role in the workshop for generating the knowledge required [This is likely to include mapping of the trends of land use change / land degradation and pressures on biodiversity and agro-ecosystems in the river basin. The diagnoses of the causes/ factors of land degradation, changes in farming systems and resources by specific land units should also indicate successful response and remediation measures by communities/projects, complied in consultation with the TAMP National Project Co-ordinator.]

Applied methods Review of existing documentation and spatial databases Related to land use/change, water Resources, Biodiversity (Plants - animals); vegetation, wetlands, agro-biodiversity and livestock, agricultural and livestock practices, soil and land degradation, population, settlements, infrastructure (educational, markets, health, banks etc), socio-economic, policy and institutional considerations at global, sectoral and local level across the Kagera river basin

Satellite image database

Two types of medium resolution sensors, LANDSAT, were used for the analysis and are also available for the next phase of the project, where they will be used for district planning and multidate analysis. Some SPOT VEGETATION time series were also used to process NDVI variations from 2003 to 2005 over Rwanda. It is important to note that a recent coverage of the areas of interventions of the final phase of TAMP has to be planned to allow planners and project management teams to have a “status reference” usefull for assessing the future impact of the project. The database is listed in annex 1. Softwares and formats

Softwares The software used for GIS and Remote Sensing analysis are the following: For GIS database setup and analysis, ESRI ArcGIS (ArcView/ArcInfo) version 9.1 together with its extensions 3D analysis and spatial analysis; For Remote Sensing analysis, LEICA ERDAS Imagine version 8.7 Professional.

Formats The formats used for GIS and Remote Sensing files are the following: For GIS, Shapefiles *.shp; For remote sensed images, Imagine *.img or GeoTIFF, *.tif.

Projection

The projection used is a Transverse Mercator for Rwanda, named RWANDA92 or rw92. The parameters of the projection are as follow:

Map_Projection_Name: Transverse Mercator Scale_Factor_at_Central_Meridian: 0.999900 Longitude_of_Central_Meridian: 30.000000 Latitude_of_Projection_Origin: 0.000000 False_Easting: 500000.000000 False_Northing: 10000000.000000 Abscissa_Resolution: 28.500000 Ordinate_Resolution: 28.500000 Planar_Distance_Units: meters Horizontal_Datum_Name: D_Arc_1960 Ellipsoid_Name: Clarke_1880_RGS Semi-major_Axis: 6378249.145000 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 293.465000


Metadata

The metadata of the GIS layers are formatted in the ESRI Metadata Standard: FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata (Metadata_Standard_Version: FGDC-STD-001-1998). They are listed in annex 2.


Results Basin level: baseline and trend maps The final results at the level of the Kagera river basin for Rwanda have been mapped in the format of a series of thematics layouts presented in a separate document. This document is in A3 format to allow a better vizualization of the entire area of interest that covers more than 80% of the Rwandan territory. The final General figures The Kagera river basin for Rwanda covers approximately 80% of the total Rwandan territory, corresponding to a area of about 20 800 Km². The districts and provinces partially within its basin are 20 and are: Gisenyi Province: Kayove, Gaseke (+/-15%), Nyamyumba, Gisenyi Town, Gasiza (+/-5%), Kanama, Cyanzarwe and Mutura. Kibuye Province: Rusenyi, Ville de Kibuye, Itabire (25%), Gisunzu (80%), Rutsiro (80%). Cyangugu Province: Bugarama, Bukunzi, Nyamasheke, Impala, Cyangugu Town, Gatare (95%).

District level: example of analysis on a hot spot The Ngenda district is located in Kigali Ngali province and has been chosen as a hot spot to demonstrate some spatial and diachronic analysis that could be later on be put in place in a larger scale in the last phase of the TAMP project. It has also been chosen because it was part of the districts chosen by FAO for PRA.

Data Set Description Fields:

Title: Rwanda - Thematic Aggregation Geomorphology / Landform

Dataset Reference Date: 2003-04-01

Dataset Reference Date Type: Publication

Dataset Edition: First

Presentation Format: mapDigital

Abstract: The landform and lithology has been produced from visual interpretation of digitally enhanced LANDSAT TM images acquired mainly in the year 1999. the landform classes have been developed using the ITC (International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation) and SOTER (Soil and Terrain Database) methods.

Purpose: The purpose of the Africover landform database is to provide the information required for natural resource assessment and management, environmental modeling and decision-making.

Completedness/Progress Code: Complete

Theme Keywords: landform, lithology, geomorphology, natural resources, management

Place Keyword: Rwanda

ISO Topic Category: Earth Cover

Supplemental Infomation:

This is a thematic aggregation of the original full resolution landform database. It groups the landform codes into broader landform units. The structure of the derived legend follows a specific criteria that allows and easy correlation between these classes and the standardised one listed in LCCS (SOTER classification first and second level). SOTER is a pure Parametric or Morphometric classification. The main origin or process of terrain units is an important descriptive element because it realtes to the dominant exogenous or endogenous processes. this aspect in a general classification gives a meaningful grouping and has analytical value. The proposed legend is structured in such a way that it can be read, not only from the Morphometric point of view as in SOTER, but also taking into account the main origin and the age of landforms (mainly derived from the lithology legend). Lithology is linked with the mapping units, but is listed


seperately. See the full landform/lithology legend in the resource section.

Data Set Description Fields:

Title: Rwanda - Spatially Aggregated Multipurpose Landcover database (Africover)

Dataset Reference Date: 2002-11-12

Dataset Reference Date Type: Publication

Dataset Edition: First

Presentation Format: mapDigital

Abstract: This dataset is a spatially reaggregated version of the original national Africover landcover multipurpose database. The land cover has been produced from visual interpretation of digitally enhanced LANDSAT TM images (Bands 4,3,2) acquired mainly in the year 1999. The land cover classes have been developed using the FAO/UNEP international standard LCCS classification system.

Purpose: The purpose of the Africover landcover database is to provide the information required for natural resource assessment and management, environmental modeling and decision-making.

Completedness/Progress Code: Complete

Theme Keywords: Landcover, environment, natural resources, agriculture, forest, rangeland, management

Place Keyword: Rwanda

ISO Topic Category: Earth Cover

Supplemental Infomation:

This data set is a reaggregated version of the original national data set; it is intended for free public access. Reaggregation has been performed by eliminating polygons below a certain area threshold. This threshold corresponds to approx. a 30 % reduction in the polygon count. See the spatial aggregation thresholds used for each country in the 'Spatial aggregation' section of the website.

Annex 4: Field observations natural vegetation along the axis Nyanza-Bugesera-Akagera DIRECTION NYANZA – KIBUNGO VIA BUGESERA Axis Nyanza-Bugesera: At around 15 - 25 km from Nyanza: presence of some natural vegetation zones (dense ligneous formation, 3-5 m high), principally at the hill’s tops and slopes. These areas are unexploited because of dense rocky concretions. Meanwhile, the areas are object of fuel wood collections (Photo 1).

Photo 1 : fuel wood. Photo 2 : Banana fields between 3 hills. Proposition for conservation : These zones should be considered for conservation program as the dense vegetation contributes to the soil protection and also the rain water is slowed allowing a good infiltration. This is important for the installation of cultivated fields (Photo 2). Akanyaru Valley : Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) is replaced, on the left of the dyke and the bridge, by a large Mays field. On the right there are some fields of rice and beans. At 6 km from Akanyaru, a papyrus wetland is replaced by rice culture. Proposition for conservation : Akanyaru wetland is one of the most important aquatic systems which control and regulate water quantity in Akagera watershed. Then Akanyaru wetlands need all attention for a conservation program. Bugesera : Presence of large zones of ligneous vegetation, sometimes dense, 2-6 m high. They constitute a mixture of Acacia clear forests, Woody savannas, Grasslands, Groves and sclerophylle forests. Some grasslands are transformed to pastures. Proposition for conservation : Some natural zones for integral biodiversity conservation should be delimited in Bugesera, separately from pastures.


Lakes Mugesera, Birara, Sake : The wetland is large enough, cultivated here and there with Mays, rice and Pennisetum purpureum. Other parts are transformed to not well delimited pastures. Presence of abundant water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), apparently disseminated by Nyabarongo. Proposition for conservation : The lakes are connected to each other by Papyrus wetland networks, cultivated here and there. As said for Akanyaru, it should be better to delimit some integrally protected zones in these wetlands for a better control of water amount in Akagera watershed.. Kibungo Province: Between lakes Mugesera, Birara, Sake and Kibungo, most of wetlands are disappearing according to the ligneous vegetation growth. This means that the amount of water is insufficient to maintain Papyrus. Other wetlands are transformed to rice fields. Kibungo-Rusumo : Wetlands seem poor along the main road to Rusumo. At 20 km from Kibungo, a large Papyrus wetland is transformed to pastures. District de Nyarubuye : Population occupies low and humid zone between rocky hill tops and Akagera wetland. Vegetation : Variable woody savannas can be seen on hill tops and slopes, densely covered of quartzitic concretions. Globally, Papyrus wetland of Akagera seems well preserved, except the fact that human activities reach the wetland. Region between lake Mpanga and Akagera river : The region seems to favour ligneous vegetation (woody savannas to forests). At Makera (Photo 3) there is a gallery forest followed by a low ligneous vegetation in the wetland. Main species of the gallery forest are Ficus div. sp., des Teclea div. sp. Cercopithecus mitis also inhabit the forest. According to the general morphology, the gallery forest is installed in a depression where water from the hills flows. The gallery forest is under diverse human and domestic animals threats.

A number of surrounding areas are covered of various gallery forests and dry Acacia forests (Photo 4). But, the whole zone is already divided in plots. Lakes Mpanga et Cyambe : The natural vegetation is mainly replaced by fields up to the beginning of the wetland even inside it. Proposition for conservation: Makera gallery forest and surrounding zones should be preserved. Akagera National Park : This Park is a mixture of Acacia clear forests, woody savannas, grasslands, Groves and sclerophylle forests and forests. Limit zones of the Park are still subject to threats mainly cows’ frequentations. Rigorous measures should be taken.
