Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda Mar 21, 2024

Forests play a crucial role in supplying essential resources like food, water and medicines. Featured here is the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, which is home to 160 species of trees and 100 species of ferns, as well as an extraordinary 50% of the world"s mountain gorilla population. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is characterised by its dense vegetation. The forest has thickets of bamboo growing between the trees, making access on foot difficult, giving this forest its impenetrable name. Apart from the mountain gorillas, the forest is inhabited by various primate species, including chimpanzees, blue monkeys, L"Hoest"s monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, vervet monkeys and black-and-white colobus monkeys.
