Key indicator species in the Kidepo Critical Landscape PA cluster show measurable increase in numbers Elephant population in 2012 was 502; zebra: 75; buffalo: 3,990; these are relatively depleted numbers relative to the carrying capacity of the landscape Key indicator species (elephants, zebra, buffalo) in the Kidepo Critical Landscape PA cluster show measurable increase in numbers of >25% by EoP Annual Report on indicator species counts; Wildlife census reports, Project Annual and Quarterly work plans and progress reports, Data base Census and indicator species counts will be carried out by EoP Deforestation, community wildlife agreements Cooperation between UWA and NFA is relatively limited; cooperation between different districts is minimal, especially in terms of managing wildlife and forest resources A working model for integrating management of PAs and wider production landscapes is piloted and adopted in six districts in North Eastern Uganda (Kitgum, Kaabong, Agago, Otuke, Abim and Kotido) and secures wildlife corridors and dispersal areas covering approximately 227,389 ha - resulting in reduced deforestation of shea by 25 % Partnership agreements and constitutions of coordination mechanisms, monitoring and evaluation of related activities; creation of secure wildlife corridors in the Kidepo landscape and documented support to establishment of the model. All stakeholders remain interested in the concept of landscape level conservation during the lifespan of the project and support the formalisation of coordination initiatives and the promotion of wildlife corridors to enhance ecological sustainability. Wildlife numbers are stable in the buffer zones Wildlife and habitats are not sufficiently monitored nor effectively managed in buffer zones outside PAs; poaching is showing signs of an increase in dispersal areas No net loss of natural habitat in the critical landscape and at least 40% reduction in hunting pressures in wildlife corridors and dispersal areas Remote sensing and GIS, backed up by ground truthing and ecological monitoring work, ongoing through to EoP The savannah habitats of the Kidepo Critical Landscape as their wildlife numbers remain well monitored and characteristics understood
