Lake Gitamo

Lake Gitamo (French: Lac Gitamo, 2°31′10″S 30°03′15″E), or Lake Nagitamo is a lake in the Kirundo Province of Burundi. Location Lake Gitamo is in the Commune of Bugabira. It empties into a marshy corridor that leads from Lake Rwihinda and Lake Narungazi to the Akanyaru River. It is south of Lake Gacamirindi, which also drains to the Akanyaru River. Ruhehe is to the north-northwest. Lake Gitamo covers 21 hectares (52 acres). Protection Lake Gitama is protected as an "Integral Zone", where human presence will be phased out. Buffer zones, or belts of land at least 50 metres (160 ft) wide, will be established around the zone. References Sources
Lake Gacamirindi

Lake Gacamirindi (French: Lac Gacamirindi, 2°27′00″S 30°00′00″E), or Lake Gacamirinda, is a lake in the Kirundo Province of Burundi. Location Lake Gacamirindi is in the Commune of Bugabira, Kirundo Province. The lake covers an area of 250 hectares (620 acres), and is set between hills with fairly steep slopes. It is surrounded by the densely populated collines of Kiri and Nyakarama. In the past the lake merged into a marshy area beside the Akanyaru River. Now banana and sorghum are cultivated both upstream and downstream of the lake. Lake Gacamirindi would normally be fed by the waters of the Akanyaru river, but as of 2011 was separated from this river by farmland and had become a small pond of a few hectares. Typha domingensis forms a very narrow belt around this pond, separating the crops and the water. Lake Gacamirindi dried up in 2004, a period of normal precipitation. Lake Narungazi and Lake Nagitamo now supply water to Lake Gacamirindi through a canal connecting the lakes through the Rugege marsh. There is a risk that this canal will lower the water level of the Nyavyamo Marsh and Lake Rwihinda, particularly during periods of drought, when water no longer flows from the Akanyaru River to Lake Rwihinda. Protection In 2001 there was an attempt to create a buffer zone between the lake and the cultivated land, but it was not respected. Lake Gacamirindi is now in the western part of the Paysage aquatique protégé du Nord (Protected Aquatic Landscape of the North), created in 2011. It is protected as an "Integral Zone", where human presence will be phased out. A buffer zone, or belt of land at least 50 metres (160 ft) wide, will be established around the lake.

Lake Mwungere

Lake Mwungere (2°34′43″S 29°56′48″E) is a lake in the Kirundo Province of Burundi. Location Lake Mwungere is in the Commune of Ntega in Kirundo Province near the villages of Mariza and Mugina. It is connected by wetlands to the Akanyaru River. The Köppen climate classification is Aw: Tropical savanna, wet. Conservation Lake Mwungere is in the Lacs du Nord Aquatic Landscape Protected Area, created in 2006, which in theory conserves more than 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of lakes and wetlands with the goal of integrated community management, agricultural production, and lake conservation. The lake is part of the Northern Protected Waterway, a 162.42 square kilometres (62.71 sq mi) complex of 8 permanent freshwater lakes including lakes Rweru, Cohoha, Rwihinda, Kanzigiri, Gacamirindi, Nagitamo, Narungazi and Mwungere as well as marshes, that form part of the Nile Basin. These lakes are dominated by small Tilapia and Oreochromis species. They have been the site of largescale invasions of water hyacinth, which has greatly decreased production and reduced fish stocks, as well as crowded out native vegetation. Burundi has taken little effort to remove the invasive species. The Kagera Aquatic Zone's Management Plan aims to improve management of the lakes, marshlands and vegetation in the Murehe Forest area. Lake Mwungere is considered an Integral Zone under this plan, which includes lakes Gacamirina and Nagitamo, and marshlands in the secondary valleys of the Akanyaru River. Human influence should be excluded from the zone by a 50 metres (160 ft) belt to protect the natural species. In November 2021 Albert Hatungimana, Governor of Kirundo, praised the achievements of Inades-Formation Burundi in creating buffer zones for the Nagitamo, Mwungere and Gacamirinda lakes. The protective belt includes trees, anti-erosion ditches with fixation grasses above them, and a canal separating the buffer zone from private properties. Fish production and water quality has improved in the protected lakes as a result. References Sources
Lake Narungazi

Lake Narungazi (French: Lac Narungazi), or Lake Narugazi, Lake Narunganzi, is a lake in the Commune of Ntega in Kirundo Province of Burundi. Location Lake Narungazi is in the Commune of Ntega, Kirundo Province, to the east of Mugendo. It is west of Lake Rwihinda and south of Lake Nagitamo. It covers an area of 61 hectares (150 acres) in a valley at an altitude of 1,380 metres (4,530 ft) bordered by the collines Nyange–Kiriringanire and Kanyarwe–Mwunguko, which reach an altitude of 1,452 metres (4,764 ft). Environment Lake Narungazi is in the Nyavyamo cyperus papyrus swamp which extends east from the Akanyaru River and includes Lake Nagitamo and Lake Rwihinda. Upstream of Lake Narungazi, the Nyavyamo marsh is used for the cultivation of sorghum. The southern branch of Lake Narungazi, between the collines of Kanyago the east and Mugendo to the west, extends through Narungazi marsh, which is used for cultivation of rice up to the edge of the water, apart from some fragments of Typha domingensis and some tufts of Phragmites. Lake Gacamirindi dried up in 2004, a period of normal precipitation. Lake Narungazi and Lake Nagitamo now supply water to Lake Gacamirindi through a canal connecting the lakes through the Rugege marsh. There is a risk that this canal will lower the water level of Lake Rwihinda, particularly during periods of drought, when water no longer flows from the Akanyaru River to Lake Rwihinda. Conservation Lake Narungazi is part of the Protected Aquatic Landscape of the North (French: Paysage Aquatique Protégé du Nord), a 162.42 square kilometres (62.71 sq mi) complex of 8 permanent freshwater lakes including lakes Rweru, Cohoha, Rwihinda, Kanzigiri, Gacamirindi, Nagitamo, Narungazi and Mwungere as well as marshes, that form part of the Nile Basin. These lakes are dominated by small Tilapia and Oreochromis species. They have been the site of largescale invasions of water hyacinth, which has greatly decreased production and reduced fish stocks, as well as crowded out native vegetation. Burundi has taken little effort to remove the invasive species. In October 2013 it was reported that an entrepreneur had introduced new species of fish to the lake. The local people thought he had added harmful chemicals to the water to protect the fish, and they were no longer allowed to use the water. An official from the Ministry of the Environment said the proper permits had been issued. The entrepreneur denied adding anything other than a ton of tilapia from Lake Rweru to the water. It seemed from the report that there were some restrictions on fishing for the first year. References Sources

Kibira Nationalpark

Kibira Nationalpark (fransk: Parc national de Kibira) er en nationalpark i det nordvestlige Burundi. Kibira nationalpark ligger på toppen af bjergene i vandskellet mellem Congo-Nilen og overlapper fire provinser med et areal på 400 km2. Den strækker sig nordpå fra provinsbyen Muramvya til grænsen til Rwanda, hvor den støder op til Nyungwe nationalpark. Skov Omkring 16% af parken anslås at primært bestå af bjergregnskov (den eneste bjergskov i hele Burundi) og støder op til to store teplantager, den ene i Teza og den anden i Rwegura. Parken overstiger 1.100 m i højden. Skoven er domineret af træarter som Symphonia globulifera, Newtonia buchananii, Albizia gummifera og Entandrophragma excelsum. I skoven findes områder med bjergmose og bambusbevoksninger. Der er i alt 644 forskellige plantearter i parken, 98 arter af pattedyr og 200 fuglearter er registreret i området. Selvom Kibira ikke er blevet så grundigt undersøgt som nogle af de nærliggende beskyttede områder, betragtes den stadig som 'det vigtigste sted i Burundi for bevarelsen af bjergskovsfugle'. Fugle Nogle af de vigtige fugle, der findes her, omfatter den kæmpeturako, bjergvåge (Buteo oreophilus), hvidplettet dunhale (Sarothrura pulchra), grå jaco (Psittacus erithacus), blåbrystet trogon (Apaloderma vittatum) og gråkindet hornfugl (Bycanistes subcylindricus). Kibira er hjemsted for en række primatarter, herunder chimpanser og slankaber. Parken forvaltes af Institut National pour l'Environnement et la Conservation de la Nature (INECN). Historie Indtil 1933 var skoven jagtreservat for kongerne af Burundi. Den lokale befolkning respekterede skoven og tilførte den en magisk kræfter, og fik rettigheder til husdyrgræsning og indsamling af skovprodukter. Skovens hellige karakter var med til at bevare den. Mellem 1933 og 1980 blev Kibira klassificeret som Congo-Nile Ridge Forest Reserve, først under belgisk styre, og derefter efter burundisk uafhængighed i juli 1962. Indvindingen af tømmer blev reguleret og kontrolleret. Uafhængighed Efter uafhængigheden og til 1980 blev retten til at tildele ny jord til dyrkning inden for nationalparkgrænsen afskaffet, selvom græsningsrettighederne blev bibeholdt. På trods af status som nationalpark er der stort pres på dele af skoven som følge af tømmer- og bambushugst, brand og krybskytteri samt indgreb i subsistenslandbruget. Vand Vandet fra skovene i Kibira Nationalpark udgør over tre fjerdedele af det vand, der går ind i landets største opstemmede sø, som genererer halvdelen af den vandkraft, der produceres i landet.

Kibira National Park

The Kibira National Park (French: Parc national de Kibira) is a national park in northwestern Burundi. Overlapping four provinces and covering 400 km2 (150 sq mi), Kibira National Park lies atop the mountains of the Congo-Nile Divide. It extends north from the provincial town of Muramvya to the border of Rwanda where it is contiguous with the Nyungwe National Park. Forest It is estimated that around 16% of the park consists of primary montane rainforest (the only montane forest in all of Burundi) and is adjacent to two large tea plantations, one in Teza and the other in Rwegura. The Park exceeds 1,100 m in elevation. Dominant tree species include Symphonia globulifera, Newtonia buchananii, Albizia gummifera and Entandrophragma excelsum. The forest contains areas of montane bog and bamboo stands. A total of 644 plants grown in the park. There are 98 species of mammal in the forest and 200 species of birds have been recorded here. Although the Kibira has not been as thoroughly studied as some of its neighboring protected areas, it still is considered 'the most important site in Burundi for the conservation of montane-forest birds'. Birds Some of the important birds found here include the great blue turaco, mountain buzzard (Buteo oreophilus), white-spotted flufftail (Sarothrura pulchra), grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus), bar-tailed trogon (Apaloderma vittatum) and the black-and-white-casqued hornbill (Bycanistes subcylindricus). The Kibira is home to a number of primate species, including chimpanzees and black and white colobus monkeys. The park is managed by the Institut National pour l'Environnement et la Conservation de la Nature (INECN). History Until 1933, this forest was a hunting reserve of the kings of Burundi. The local people respected the forest, investing it with a magical power. Rights of use for livestock grazing and the gathering of forest products were recognized. The sacred character of the forest, even prior to the colonial era, helped to conserve it. Between 1933 and 1980 Kibira was classified as the Congo-Nile Ridge Forest Reserve, first under Belgian rule, then after Burundian Independence in July 1962. Only the extraction of high-value timber was regulated and controlled. Independence Between Independence and 1980, the right to allocate new land for cultivation within the defined boundary was abolished, although grazing rights were retained. Despite its status as a National Park, there is much pressure on parts of the forest as a result of felling of trees and cutting of bamboo, fire and poaching, and encroaching subsistence agriculture. Water The water from the forests of the Kibira National Park account for over three-quarters of the water that goes into the country’s largest dam, which generates half of the hydroelectric energy generated in the country.
