The figures show Landsat satellite images taken in 1985, 1995 and 2002. All three images were taken in February of the respective years. Active fires with fire fronts are visible in the rift valley area and close to the escarpment. Fire scars are evident between main Budongo and Kaniyo Pabidi forested areas in 1985, but in 2002 there is less fire and more regrowth between the two forested areas. The regrowth is also evidenced in the photographic comparison shown on the opposite page.
