human settlements. Wildlife that live at higher altitudes would be most affected by this shift. The Rwenzori leopard and the Rwenzori red duiker (only found in the Rwenzoris) are at risk from hotter temperatures since they usually live at altitudes above 3,000 m at colder climates (MWE, 2007, in UNDPUNEP, 2004). Ranges of unique species of chameleons, including the threehorned chameleon, are already at risk. Their range is shifting upwards, possibly as a result of rising temperatures. Areas that support bamboo may be reduced. and blue monkeys are the species most often responsible for crop damage and loss. HWC in communities adjacent to RMNP would further damage relations. Shifting vegetation belts could reduce the types and amount of plant resources used by surrounding communities. movement outside the PA. Update sustainable use agreements between the PA and communities that take into account effects of shifting vegetation belts. Promote domestication and on-farm production of those PA resources used most by surrounding communities, in particular, bamboo. Support alternative tourism activities, such as cultural tourism, birding tourism, adventure tourism and caving. Support training in first aid and other safety precautions for UWA and community tourism enterprises.
