Description
This data was collected by the Forest Department of Uganda under the ‘Natural Forest Management and Conservation Project’ (No. 6100.37.42.015) and the project of ‘Institutional Support for the Protection of East African Biodiversity’ (UNO/RAF/006/GEF). Support for this programme was provided by the EC and financed through UNDP/FAO by the Global Environmental Facility respectively. This data were collected from 1993 to1995 and published in a series of reports edited by Howard and Davenport (1996). The data has been mobilized by the staff of the A Rocha Uganda and A Rocha International under the project "Raising the profile of data for the conservation of four forested African landscapes" funded by GBIF's BID programme, and coordinated by A Rocha Kenya." The mobilised data consists of occurrences of birds from eastern and central Uganda forests including Mabira, South Busoga, Bukaleba, West Bugwe, Igwe-Luvunya, Lwamunda and Gangu (formerly Mpigi), Mpanga and Kisubi (formerly Ziika) forest reserves. The data is based on mist netting records collected between May,1993 to March,1995.

Données sur le projet
A Rocha Uganda is part of the eleven organisations that came together to mobilise, share and use biodiversity data across four African countries to help with the conservation of four forested African landscapes. These landscapes cover over 450,000 hectares of tropical forests in four countries where the A Rocha family is undertaking conservation work. The project includes five of the organisations belonging to the A Rocha family (i.e., A Rocha Uganda, A Rocha International, A Rocha Kenya, Eden Care Initiative-Nigeria, and A Rocha Ghana) as partners. Other partner organisations include; National Museum of Kenya, African Butterfly Research Institute (ABRI), Kenya Wildlife Service, National Forest Authority in Uganda, Council for Scientific Industrial Research- Food Research Institute in Ghana and A.P Leventis Ornithological Research Institute in Nigeria. With funding from JRS Biodiversity Foundation and European Union (https://european-union.europa.eu/) through the Biodiversity Information for Development (BID) program of GBIF, a regional project “Raising the profile of data for the conservation of four forested African landscapes” was initiated and its seeking to utilise biodiversity data to better conserve biodiversity-rich but threatened forests of Atewa in Ghana; key coastal forests of Kenya (Dakatcha, Taita Hills, Shimba Hills and Kaya Forests); Kwande and Oban-liku in Nigeria and Eastern Uganda key forests (West Bugwe and Igwe-Luvunya, South Busoga, Bukaleba, Mabira, Mukono, Mpanga, Mpigi and Zika Forest Reserves). The dataset “Occurrences of birds in eastern and central Uganda forests, 1993 to 1995” reports data collected under a programme of Uganda Forest Department’s Natural Forest Conservation Section to undertake biodiversity surveys in 65 of Uganda’s forests

| Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche | West Bugwe Forest Reserve is a central forest reserve within found in Busia district in Eastern Uganda between 00°28′30–0°35′30N and 33°54′30″–35°5′0″E. The reserve covers a total area of 3,780 hectares with an altitudinal range of 1000 - 1235 m. Igwe-Luvunya Forest Reserve lies within Bukoli county in the administrative district of Bugiri. It covers an area of 19 km2 with an altitudinal range of 1113 - 1295 m. Bukaleba Forest Reserve lies in the county of Bunya in the administrative district of Mayuge. The reserve covers an area of 97 km2 with an altitudinal range of 1158 - 1334 m and lies between 330 18’ and 330 32’ E, and 00 11’ and 00 15’ S. The reserve is located on a small peninsula on the edge of Lake Victoria. Mabira Forest Reserve lies in the administrative districts of Buikwe, Nakifuma and Mukono. It was established under the Buganda Agreement in 1900 and occupies an area of 306 km2 with an altitudinal range of 1070 - 1340 m situated between 32’ 520 - 33’ 070 E and 0’ 240 - 0’ 350 N. It is found 54 km east of Kampala and 26 km west of Jinja. Mabira is the largest forest reserve in Central Uganda. Zika and the forest reserves of Mpigi are an archipelago of small neighboring reserves totaling some 261km2. They are situated between 10 and 60 km west of Kampala and between 2 and 50 km north of Lake Victoria in Busuju, Gomba and Singo counties in the administrative districts of Mpigi and Wakiso, between 0º0'and 0º30' N, and 31º45' and 32º30' E. During the original surveys Mpanga (an Mpigi Forest Reserve) was treated separately to the other Mpigi archipelago sites. Two other Mpigi sites are now known as Lwamunda and Gangu Forest Reserves. Zika was not a Forest Reserve at the time of the surveys but is now known as Kisubi Forest Reserve. South Busoga Forest Reserve is situated on the northern shore of Lake Victoria between 0009' and 0020’ N, and 33027’ and 33039’ E. It lies approximately 33 km south of Iganga and 24 km southeast of Jinja. The reserve lies in Bunya County in the administrative district of Mayuge. It covers an area of 164 km2, with an altitudinal range of 1140 to 1300 m. |
| Description du design | The sampling methodology used for data collection was mist netting, twenty mist-nets each of 9 m x 3 m were used. Nets were usually opened between 0630 hrs and 0800 hrs and closed between 1800 hrs and 1930 hrs. They were sited to maximise the catch, usually in pairs, and half were moved to a different habitat type every day or every other day |

| Etendue de l'étude | These data are an occurrence dataset of birds recorded from eastern and central Uganda forests including Mabira, South Busoga, Bukaleba, West Bugwe, Igwe-Luvunya, Mpigi, Mpanga and Zika forest reserves. |
|---|---|
| Contrôle qualité | Wherever possible, identification was carried out in the field. Birds were identified using Williams and Arlott (1980), Mackworth-Praed and Grant (1957, 1960), Guggisburg (1986), Sinclair et al. (1993), and Brown et al. (1982), Urban et al. (1986), Fry et al. (1988) and Keith et al. (1992). The order and nomenclature used in the original survey reports followed Britton (1980), Carswell and Pomeroy (1984) with revisions made by the Ornithological Sub-Committee of the East Africa Natural History Society (D. Turner, pers. comm.). The order, taxonomy and nomenclature were subsequently revised according to the HBW and BirdLife International checklist taxonomy (del Hoyo and Collar 2014, 2016). According to the original survey reports: “Ranger ornithologists were trained to make detailed field descriptions of their observations, including notes on the appearance, calls and behaviour of birds and the habitats in which they were observed. Each ranger was provided with a shortlist of (generally common, unmistakable) species that did not require verification, but records of any other species were only accepted... on submission of one (or preferably two) voucher specimens of each species... During the programme, a comprehensive reference collection was made at Forest Department headquarters. Any difficult specimens were taken to the National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi, or the Zoological Museum at Tring, UK for identification.” The geographic coordinates of sampling locations were recorded during the original fieldwork using the Military Grid Reference System (old version). These were converted to a standard UTM format and then to decimal latitude and longitude using GIS based tools. |
Description des étapes de la méthode:
- The national survey of Uganda forests collected data in 65 forests. The original field survey results including all data were published in a series of reports by the Forest Department of Uganda (Howard et al. 1996). The current dataset comprises records of birds that were mist netted during this survey. We selected a sample of forests that had been surveyed in the Central and Eastern Regions of Uganda in order to digitise the data for GBIF. Electronic copies of the written reports and a separate electronic database of records were made available for this purpose by the original authors of the reports (Peter Howard). We extracted the bird mist netting records from the electronic database and supplemented these with location data provided in the narrative reports. The species names were updated to modern taxonomy by aligning the names and regionally appropriate forms (subspecies) with the HBW and BirdLife International checklist taxonomy (del Hoyo and Collar 2014, 2016) paying particular attention to potential taxonomic splits and lumps that had occurred since the original data were collected. The location data in the original reports were provided in Military Grid Reference System. These were first converted to standard UTM coordinates, noting that the MGRS was using an old datum (MGRS-AL scheme also called "MGRS old"). UTM coordinates were then converted to decimal degrees using an online conversion spreadsheet (https://giscrack.com/download-excel-template-convert-geographic-coordinates-utm/). The converted locations were then checked against Google Maps imagery to confirm that a satisfactory conversion had been made. Species records from each Forest Reserve were checked against the distribution maps in Carswell et al. (2005) and through expert assessment (J. Lindsell) to ensure that no unsubstantiated or extralimital records were included.
