Description
The article, "The biodiversity of the Albertine Rift," published in a special edition of Biological Conservation (Volume 134, Issue 2, January 2007, Pages 178-194) on Conservation in Areas of High Population Density in Sub-Saharan Africa, gives a summary of existing literature on biodiversity surveys within sites in the Albertine Rift.
The paper is the result of a collaborative effort between protected area authorities museums and many different NGOs, such as the Albertine Rift Conservation Society, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, the Institute for Tropical Forest Conservation, the International Gorilla Conservation Programme, Makerere University's Institute of Environment and Natural Resources, Wildlife Conservation Society and the World Wide Fund for Nature.
The compilation of the biodiversity information was led by WCS. This paper advances this collaborative effort by using the collated data to prioritise sites in the Albertine Rift for conservation according to their numbers of endemic and globally threatened species
