This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: DPSIR_rwenzori_holistic, rising temperatures melting of glaciers, Drivers Pressures, agricultural intensification (farming systems: banana/coffee - and montane system) unsustainable agricultural practice (monocultures, use of agrochemicals, overexploitation, "slash and burn"), Pressures State, afforestation (native or dysfunctional like eucalypts ?) can partly reverse or at least compensate land conversion for agricultural production (deforestation, encroachment of wetlands), enhance willingness & possibility for better agricultural practice (report p.211) unsustainable agricultural practice (monocultures, use of agrochemicals, overexploitation, "slash and burn"), climate change and variability changed rainfall amounts and patterns (bimodal pattern, actually 900-1600mm/y), melting of glaciers depletion of water resources, cash crop production (tea and coffee) to generate income and buy food increasing energy demand, increasing energy demand decreasing food security and livelihood, climate change and variability rising temperatures, increasing food demand agricultural intensification (farming systems: banana/coffee - and montane system), income from eco-tourism (report p.206) can compensate decreasing food security and livelihood, cash crop production (tea and coffee) to generate income and buy food land conversion for agricultural production (deforestation, encroachment of wetlands), population growth (estimates for Uganda 2010: 24.2 m, growthrate 3.2%) increasing water demand, climbing and decrease of mountainious ecoregions ecological degradation (erosion, land slides, loss of biodiversity, siltation and pollution of water resources, overfishing, wetland degradation) (see report p.205), Impact Responses, collaborative forest management scheme (NFA 2008, see report p.207) --> fuel wood, soil fertility, fodder for cattle can partly reverse or at least compensate land conversion for agricultural production (deforestation, encroachment of wetlands), cash crop production (tea and coffee) to generate income and buy food can compensate decreasing food security and livelihood, rising temperatures climbing and decrease of mountainious ecoregions
