Latest version published by Albertine Rift Conservation Society (ARCOS) on Sep 28, 2021
This is the data collected by ARCOS as part of its Integrated Landscape Assessment and Monitoring (ILAM) programme. The dataset covers all biodiversity records collected in Bugesera Landscape in Year 2017
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 50 records. 1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
- Event (core)
- Occurrence
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
This data was collected as part of the Integrated Landscape Assessment and Monitoring (ILAM)programme. The compilation and publication of the dataset was done in the framework of the African Biodiversity Challenge (ABC) initiative.
| Title | Integrated Landscape Assessment and Monitoring (ILAM) |
|---|---|
| Identifier | Data-for-ABC-initiative |
| Funding | The funding for this study was generously given by the Government of Rwanda through its Environment and Climate Change fund (FONERWA). Other partners also contributed to the funding of the surveys including the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) through its Biodiversity Information for Development (BID) programme as well as the International Foundation for Science (IFS) through its research grant programme. |
| Study Area Description | This dataset covers the wetlands of Bugesera landscape including the Akanyaru and Rweru-Mugesera wetlands |
| Design Description | The Integrated Landscape Assessment and Monitoring (ILAM) model is designed to reflect the State-Pressure-Response Framework (OECD, 1999) which is a popular model in biodiversity and ecosystem services assessment, monitoring and reporting (Kristensen 2004). The Pressure-State-Response framework is based on causality: human activities impose pressures on the environment and change the quality and quantity of natural resources (state). Likewise, society also responds to these changes through environmental, economic and sector policies (responses). In that regard, a set of 25 indicators have been identified to cover biodiversity, ecosystem services, and socio-economic aspects in the landscape. For biodiversity, key taxa that are looked at include birds, odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) and butterflies. Plants are also sampled along the transects. |

Additional Metadata
| Purpose | The purpose was to collect biodiversity data that could inform on the status and trends of biodiversity, socio economy of community and ecosystem services as well as threats associated to water-energy-and food security nexus along Bugesera wetland landscape to inform on future planning |
