Nzururu, is highly significant to the traditional belief system of the Bakonzo. Vegetation belts may be shifting. Animal ranges may constrict due to hotter, drier conditions. (Research into the causes of vegetation belt shifts is inconclusive.) Wildlife habitat, especially for species that prefer higher elevations, may shrink as vegetation belts move upslope. As wildlife moves upslope to preferred vegetation, they will move into habitat of other species, which could result in increased competition. Elephants and other mammals may move out of the park in search of preferable habitat, potentially coming into contact with Increased risk of disease transmission if wildlife move outside PA boundaries in response to fire.
