Ongoing Research Projects

Investigating wildlife-vehicle collisions along public roads and tourist tracks in Queen Elizabeth, Kibale, and Murchison Falls National Parks. Preliminary findings show 783 recorded roadkills with critical hotspots identified.

Evaluating community-based management of invasive woody encroachment on soil properties and macrofauna diversity. Findings reveal that manual intervention partially restores soil fertility and supports biodiversity recovery in African savannas.

Investigating movement pathways and threats to elephant and lion connectivity in Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area. Drone imagery reveals encroachment through fish ponds, settlements, and livestock grazing in critical wildlife corridors.

Assessing water hyacinth extent and its implications on water quality and wildlife health at Lake Katwe, Lake Edward, and Kazinga Channel. Results indicate significant water quality degradation affecting both wildlife and human livelihoods.

Assessing landscape-level climate vulnerability to guide effective conservation interventions. Addresses impacts of rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and extreme weather on wildlife biodiversity, habitats, and migration patterns.
