Perceived climate change impacts and adaptation responses in ten African mountain regions
Mountain regions are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Yet, little is known about local adaptation responses in African mountain regions, especially if these are incremental or transformational. First, using household questionnaires, we interviewed 1,500 farmers across ten African mountain regions to investigate perceived climate change impacts and adaptation responses. Second, through a reflective process involving all co-author…
Comparative Study of Climate Change Adaptation Practices in Conflict-Affected Mountain Areas of Africa
People living in conflict-affected areas are particularly vulnerable to climate-related impacts. However, few comparative studies have examined differences in adaptation practices across different conflict-affected mountain areas in Africa. This study focuses on 2 mountain areas, the Bamboutos Mountains (western Cameroon, affected by sectarian conflict) and the Itombwe Mountains (eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, affected by political ins…
Climate change and hunter-gatherers in montane eastern DR Congo
Mountain environments experience more rapid changes in temperature than lower elevations. However, little is known about the climatic changes already observed in African mountains, or the adaptation strategies used by hunter-gatherer communities. Semi-structured interviews were administered to 100 Twa hunter-gatherers living around Mt Kahuzi in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo). We also organized 10 focus-group discussions with …
From Tree Species to Forest Services
Social Perceptions of Forest Ecosystem Services in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The forests of the Albertine Rift are known for their high biodiversity and the important ecosystem services they provide to millions of inhabitants. However, their conservation and the maintenance of ecosystem service delivery is a challenge, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our research investigates how livelihood strategy and ethnicity affects local perceptions of forest ecosystem services. We collected data through 25 foc…
