| The park is part of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and is situated along the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) border next to the Virunga National Park and on the edge of the Albertine Rift. | WIKI |
| Composed of 331 square kilometres (128xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi) of both montane and lowland forest, it is accessible only on foot. | WIKI |
| In 1932, two blocks of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest were designated as Crown Forest Reserves. | WIKI |
| The northern block was designated as the "Kayonza Crown Forest Reserve", and the southern block designated as the "Kasatora Crown Forest Reserve". | WIKI |
| In 1942, the two reserves were combined and enlarged,[3] then renamed the Impenetrable Central Crown Forest. | WIKI |
| [4]:7 This new protected area covered 298 square kilometres (115xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi)[3] and was under the joint control of the Ugandan government's game and forest departments. | WIKI |
| In 1964, the reserve was designated as an animal sanctuary[5]:43 to provide extra protection for its mountain gorillas[3] and renamed the Impenetrable Central Forest Reserve. | WIKI |
| [5]:43 In 1966, two other forest reserves became part of the main reserve, increasing its area to almost 321 square kilometres (124xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi). | WIKI |
| [3] The park continued to be managed as both a game sanctuary and forest reserve. | WIKI |
| In 1991, the Impenetrable Central Forest Reserve, along with the Mgahinga Gorilla Reserve and the Rwenzori Mountains Reserve, was designated as a national park and renamed the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. | WIKI |
| [7] The reclassification of the park had a large impact on the Batwa pygmy people, who were evicted from the forest and no longer permitted to enter the park or access its resources. | WIKI |
| [3] The park is composed of two blocks of forest that are connected by a corridor of forest. | WIKI |
| The shape of the park is a legacy of previous conservation management, when the original two forest blocks were protected in 1932. | WIKI |
| The forest is an important water catchment area. | WIKI |
| Much of the park's rainfall forms streams, and the forest has a dense network of streams. | WIKI |
| The forest is the source of many rivers that flow to the north, west, and south. | WIKI |
| [13] The park's forest plays an important role in regulating the surrounding area's environment and climate. | WIKI |
| [6]:233[11] High amounts of evapotranspiration from the forest's vegetation increases the precipitation that the region outside the park receives. | WIKI |
| Bwindi Impenetrable Forest | WIKI |
| The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is old, complex, and biologically rich. | WIKI |
| The park's diverse species are partly a result of the large variations of elevation[4]:8 and habitat types in the park,[11] and may also be because the forest was a refuge for species during glaciations in the Pleistocene epoch. | WIKI |
| [4]:8 Located where plain and mountain forests meet,[3] there is a continuum of low-altitude to high altitude primary forests in the park,[6]:234[14] one of the few large tracts of East African forest where this occurs. | WIKI |
| [13] Along with mountain gorilla, species in the park include common chimpanzee, L'Hoest's monkey, African elephant, African green broadbill, and cream-banded swallowtail,[15] black and white colobus, red-tailed monkeys, vervets,[16]:744 the giant forest hog,[13] and small antelope species. | WIKI |
| The high population and poor agricultural practises place a great pressure on the Bwindi forest, and are one of the biggest threats to the park. | WIKI |
| Prior to Bwindi's gazetting as a national park in 1991, the park was designated as a forest reserve, and regulations about the right to access the forest were more liberal and seldom enforced. | WIKI |
| [5]:44 It was gazetted as a national park in 1991 because of its rich biodiversity and threats to the integrity of the forest. | WIKI |
| [5]:44 Adjacent communities' access to the forest immediately ended. | WIKI |
| [5]:45 The Batwa, a group that had relied on the forest, were badly affected. | WIKI |
| [16]:743 Guided walks through the forest include a walk to a waterfall, and walks for monkey watching and birding. | WIKI |
| Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, covering 32,092 ha, is one of the largest areas in East Africa which still has Afromontane lowland forest extending to well within the montane forest belt. | UNESCO |
| Home to almost half of the worldxe2x80x99s mountain gorilla population, the property represents a conservation frontline as an isolated forest of outstanding biological richness surrounded by an agricultural landscape supporting one of the highest rural population densities in tropical Africa. | UNESCO |
| This forest is believed to be a mere remnant of a very large forest which once covered much of western Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). | UNESCO |
| The property has the highest diversity of tree species (over 200 species including 10 endemics) and ferns (some 104 species) in East Africa, and maybe the most important forest in Africa for montane forest butterflies with 202 species (84% of the countryxe2x80x99s total), including eight Albertine endemics. | UNESCO |
| The forest is very significant as a home to almost half of the population (about 340) of the critically endangered mountain gorilla. | UNESCO |
| With over 347 species of forest birds recorded in the Park,at least 70 out of 78 montane forest bird species occurring in the Albertine Rift region are found in the forest, and 22 of the 36 endemics. | UNESCO |
| The property is an oasis of forest situated inside one of the most densely populated rural areas in the country with more than 350 people per square km. | UNESCO |
| This means that there is no possibility for a buffer zone at the forest edge apart from a buffer of 4 km2 which was donated by communities at the southern end of the Park to safeguard the site. | UNESCO |
| Bwindi shares a common border with the small (c. 900 ha) protected Sarambwe forest in DRC, into which the gorillas and other species enter at times. | UNESCO |
| Managed by Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA, UWA replaced Uganda National Parks (UNP) that was the management authority of the property at the time of designation), Bwindi is protected under the provisions of various national laws (The Constitution (1995), Uganda Wildlife Act Cap 200 of 2000, National Environment Act (2000), Local Government Act (1997), The Land Act (1998), the Forest and Tree Planting Act 2003 and the Uganda Wildlife Policy (1999). | UNESCO |
