movements; they are more susceptible to poaching and being hit by vehicles, and once outside of LMNP, they may be killed by farmers or livestock keepers. At LMNP, even localized movement is becoming more hazardous since swampy areas are drying, and when animals move toward these water sources, they get stuck in the mud. Unless PA staff rescue them, they die. Overgrazing, diminished food availability and animal mortality as a result of animals converging in smaller areas where water is available. Fish and wildlife that breed, feed and hide along shorelines will be affected if the level of Lake Mburo drops. Catfish dependent on wetland resources. Fewer PA resources for community use. Among other plants used by community members (thatch and material for handicrafts), a plant used to cap milk containers is less common due to drying of wetlands. This is a livelihood and vulnerability issue linked to nutrition. Adverse impacts on quality and quantity of water for domestic use and for croplands that are irrigated from this landscape’s water sources. and protection program that was started in 2013 around LNRS to mitigate lower water levels in the lake. For LNRS, develop and implement more strictly enforced land use planning along with an awarenessraising program on the value of ecosystem services that the lake provides. Evaluate pilot programs and scale up successes that restore fragile riverine ecosystems. A public-private partnership of Ugandan and donor entities in Mbarara District has shown some success. Response to livelihoods impacts: Support construction of valley dams and other water conservation
