Why birding in Bwindi In #Uganda is so important. The Rift’s high levels of endemicity have been attributed to long-term climatic stability, which has enabled ancient, biogeographically ‘relictual’ species to persist, while promoting the adaptive radiation of younger, restricted-range species. Bwindi has three bird species that are relictual, and the only surviving representatives of their respective genera: African Green Broadbill, Grauer’s Warbler and Short-tailed Warbler. Indeed, both the broadbill and Short-tailed Warbler are thought to be more closely related to Asian- than to African species.
