Migration and Conservation in the Misotshi-Kabogo Ecosystem

The document examines how migration into the Misotshi-Kabogo ecosystem in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is driving land conversion and the overexploitation of natural resources, threatening local species and traditional livelihoods.

• Human migration is contributing to land conversion and the overexploitation of natural resources in the Misotshi-Kabogo ecosystem, which negatively affects conservation efforts and traditional livelihoods.
• The Misotshi-Kabogo ecosystem, located in the lower Albertine Rift of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, lacks formal protection but is critical for species survival because forests in its altitude range are becoming rare in the country.
• Migrants are moving into the region due to the perceived availability of arable land and improved security, leading to population growth and livelihood choices that threaten the ecosystem.
