DESCRIPTION:The Rwenzori Mountains run for 70 kilometres along the Uganda 
 / Democratic Republic of Congo border and provide watershed functions for 
 millions of farmers and support high biodiversity.  In 1992\, the creation
  of a national park had considerable impacts in local communities by restr
 icting access to both natural and cultural resources. Though intended to p
 romote conservation\, it is arguable that they achieve the opposite.  The 
 return of the King of the Mountain People has created social and political
  opportunities to re-examine relationships between the people and the moun
 tains\, the people and the national park\, and the park authorities and tr
 aditional institutions. I will discuss how the Culture\, Values and Conser
 vation Project implemented by Fauna & Flora International and the Uganda W
 ildlife Authority is attempting to engage with these issues and opportunit
 ies to improve the conservation of the mountain’s natural and cultural v
 alues.
