Forests play a crucial role in supplying essential resources like food, water and medicines.

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is characterised by its dense vegetation. The forest has thickets of bamboo growing between the trees, making access on foot difficult, giving this forest its impenetrable name. Apart from the mountain gorillas, the forest is inhabited by various primate species, including chimpanzees, blue monkeys, L"Hoest"s monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, vervet monkeys and black-and-white colobus monkeys.
