A large upward displacement of species ranges and vegetation zones of approximately 600–700 m relative to 1990 levels. Sensitive species will try to migrate toward available and preferable habitat and food sources, and if unable to adapt, they may die. An increase in temperature and lower water table is linked to a shift in bamboo cover and bamboo die-back in Echuya Forest. Shift of the bamboo belt and bamboo die back are likely to increase in ECFR and to be seen in BMCA as well. Disease transmission is expected to increase due to animals moving outside PA boundaries in search of preferred habitat. HWC is expected to increase due to shifts in species ranges and vegetation zones (in part attributed to climate change). Fewer PA resources for community use. Plant resources such as Smilax anceps (enshuli) from BMCA used for craft making are likely to be adversely affected by shifting vegetation belts. Bamboo, with its many uses, many of which are only now becoming known and popular, will also Responses to biodiversity impacts: Support development of wildlife corridors based on climate change projections of vegetation belt shifts. Responses to livelihoods impacts: To raise revenue for the PA system, support gorilla habituation and tourism diversification to strengthen and diversify the tourism products of BMCA compatible with the potential effects of climate change on biodiversity resources.
