Ecosystems are complex entities. Each ecosystem is made up of interdependent, interacting biotic and abiotic components. Sustainability of any ecosystem depends on the ability to maintain ambient conditions or on the resilience of organisms within changing conditions.
Ecosystem Management & Biodiversity Conservation
Over-exploitation of natural resources which also includes over-hunting and harvesting depletes Uganda’s stock of animal and plant resources, which lowers populations, affecting the genetic diversity and increasing the risk of local elimination and subsequent extinction. Ecosystems in Uganda are increasingly threatened by various human activities. BiVA works with communities to develop community owned solutions to natural resource management. BiVA also conducts advocacy campaigns destruction of natural ecosystems and replacing it with large scale plantations, degradation of forests, wetlands and other protected ecosystems.
