92 Lake Bunyonyi - Iyamuriro Wetland Effects of wetland degradation Kabale-Iyamuriro wetland depleted in one year By 1990 the Iyamuriro wetland was intact, performing hydrological and ecological functions. From the year 2005 to date, the whole eco-system has been converted to Agricultural cultivation land. NEMA 2007
Effects: • Loss of biodiversity including endemic birds e.g the Papyrus yellow warbler. This wetland is one of the Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Uganda. • Change in micro-climate (fog and mist formation greatly altered) • Change in hydrology in the area. The conversion happened “instantly” and impacts are highly significant. . 93
