Abstract
Despite high human population density and extreme levels of poverty, Albertine Rift
remains one of Africa’s most important conservation priorities. Incorporating what
are likely to be major impacts of climate change into conservation in this landscape requires the development of basic information on transboundary cooperation rela -
tionships between climate and biodiversity and addressing short-term con servation
needs as well as longer-term planning. Given uncertainties in how climate change will
unfold in the Albertine Rift landscape, conservation priorities are focused on safeguarding high-elevation and mountainous habitats, and maintaining or re establishing
connectivity between those areas.
