ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This consultancy builds on NatureUganda earlier studies to identify important biodiversity areas in Uganda or key biodiversity areas. Thirty three (33) Important Bird Areas were identified including Mabira Forest Reserve. In this study, we make a case that policy formulation about natural resources needs to be informed with facts in the present and full knowledge of the future or predicted long term consequences. We are grateful to BirdLife International Partnership particularly Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) whose initial support enabled NatureUganda to undertake this study on the economic evaluation of a section of Mabira Forest Reserve that was proposed for Degazzettement. The research work falls under our advocacy programme supported by various partners including BirdLife International through Jansen’s Foundation programme on ‘turning policy advantages into conservation gains’. It is our sincere hope that this report will trigger and sustain informed debate on conservation value of natural resources particularly critical ecosystems such as Mabira Forest Reserve. NatureUganda recognised the importance of an economic evaluation of the Mabira Central Forest Reseve at a time when there was a debate pitting conservation of natural resources against intensive use for agriculture and industry and this report will contribute useful information to the debate not only for Mabira Forest but for other natural resources in the country. We acknowledge the support received from NatureUganda secretariat especially the Executive Director Mr. Achilles Byaruhanga for coordinating the study and providing the consultants with all logistical requirements. We acknowledge contribution of Mr Telly Eugene Muramira who technically edited the report and Dr. Patrick Birungi of Makerere University for reading the earlier drafts as well as Dr. Panta Kasoma and Roger Skeen who proof read the report. Special tribute is paid to Dr. Yakobo Moyini (R.I.P) who was the lead consultant on this study that was conducted in 2008. Other persons who contributed to this report include Mr. Moses Masiga and Dr. Paul Segawa. We further acknowledge EU support through the Important Bird Areas (IBA) monitoring project for providing the funds towards printing of this report in 2011.
