Geography And Conservation

  For Ecological Restoration to be successful, drivers of disturbance which include livestock restrictions, and eradicating invasive exotic species from the restored young area need to be removed to enable the young vegetation to grow uninterrupted.  This has been noticed in Gilbe rt Tayebwa's piloted restoration activity in Rushebeya wetland of Rukiga District where, Gilbert managed to task group leaders to sensitize people especially wetland adjacent communities and those using the wetland for agricultural purposes to restore buffer zones of at least 50meters from the river bank into the agricultural area for safer breeding and feeding of Grey Crowned Cranes, and endangered species according to the IUCN Redlist and a national bird for Uganda .Communities here were told t o also monitor the restored areas periodically   However, for Restoration to be effective, there is need to offer incentives such as Conservation agreements or revolving loans or else alternat...

Focusing on technological developments, Uganda, in Particular, is adopting/increasing her potential to grow though use of geo-information technology to address climate change, biodiversity conservation, social and cultural( https://www.seed.manchester.ac.uk/about/stories/mapping-way-ugandas-mll-victims/ )developments including industrial developments. This has been realised by the diversity of geospatial data providers , national mapping and space agencies, policy makers and research institutes taking up this leading technlogy Increase use of this will enable adequate contribution to the country to contribute to achieving the(Vision 2040 ) thence focusing on the role and relevance of geospatial information in national development will support the country's growing economy and attracting the interest of governments and businesses from around the world.

Incorporating Geography as a useful tool for preparing the input of models and tool is critical. Moreover, a lot of data is available in this era of Open Data and It can be easily retrieved from the internet and integrated into open source GIS desktop software, such as QGIS , open layers used for web-mapping and data querying(review my github projects here . Often,some data is stored in files on harddisks,  or DVDs,making  it hard to be found including lack of metadata thence makes it hard to evaluate the quality of the data and to reuse the data  It should be noted that, data shared/visualized in maps leads to more insights and better policy making. Sharing data in the cloud lets data users spend more time on data analysis rather than data acquisition With this versatile open source program you can compile a map by organizing, combining and linking data. Analyze the data, add your own layout and prepare the map for publication
