People threatened by melting glaciers

Ronah Masika remembers she can still see the snowy peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.A beautiful view every time she travels from her home in Kasese to the capital of Uganda Kampala - and more recently.But now she can't even see the ice because the glacier is descending.And not only has that perspective changed.Masika said her grandmother used to grow beans to feed her family and they would last until the new crop was ready to harvest.Now I and others find it difficult to feed ourselves with what we plant at home because everything has been destroyed by floods or droughts, either too much drought or too much rain.

It makes me uncomfortable and think about how the slotxo next generation will survive this dire situation," said Masika, who is now working on a project to mitigate the effects of the changing environment.Climate change is affecting the Rwenzori mountain range in different ways.Most noticeable is the rapid loss of ice area, which fell from 6.5 sq km in 1906 to less than 1 sq km in 2003 and may disappear completely before the end of this decade.In 2012, wildfires surpassed 4,000 meters, which in the past would have been unpredictable that the devastating vegetation that controls the downstream river flow.

Since then, communities living in the foothills of Rwenzori have suffered some of the worst flooding ever seen with infrequent but heavier patterns of rain.In May last year, five local rivers flooded after heavy rains. Water crept from the mountain, where huge boulders swept homes and schools, and destroyed the city of Calembe. About 25,000 homes have been destroyed and 173,000 people have been affected.
While science may provide an explanation of these events, the local Bakonzo culture has another way to frame them - based on their beliefs.These happen because the gods are angry.Bakonzo has a very strong connection to snow and water," said Simon Musasizi,

project manager at Bakonzo. Said the Cross-Cultural Foundation of Uganda (CCFU).
They believed that their god Kitasaba lived in the snow, and that snow was the frozen sperm of their gods.The name Rwenzori comes from rwe nzururu, which means "place of snow" in the Bakonzo language. There are 30 gods associated with different natural resources living in the mountains according to Bakonzo cosmology. But deforestation and rapid population growth around sacred mountains and melting glaciers are changing things.During the floods last year, the water submerged the geysers and washed the vegetation around the falls, which served as ritual sites. Since then, the spiritual leader has been unable to perform those ceremonies.

Other spiritual sites are being eroded or filled with sediment, and vegetation destruction has weakened the banks of many areas.All of these are threatening centuries-old rituals.It is likely that these traditions will gradually become scarce or will not happen again, because everything is changing," said Musasici.The Bakonzo community is made up of about a million people living on both sides of the border between Uganda and DR Congo, and their legacy may have been lost to climate change.The consequences of climate change are particularly severe in the tropics," said Richard Taylor, a geographer at University College London who led research on the Rwenzori Mountains.

A degree or two of warmer temperatures at the equator have a greater impact on climate and water budget than one or two degrees of warmer temperatures in London, Paris or New York.The intensification of weather patterns found in the mountains is taking place across the tropics.Prof Taylor, who co-led the 2003 to 2007 expedition to measure the changes in the Rwenzori glacier, said the loss of tropical ice areas was a telltale sign of global warming.Restoring and protecting areas affected by climate change is also key to preserving cultural heritage.

As part of a project to do so, Mr Musasizi said there was an agreement with the community on which trees to plant to best strengthen the banks of the river, including bamboo and native trees.Ms Masika, who is in charge of liaison with local residents, said the community already had answers to some of the problems.For example, they know which plants should be planted at what level in the mountains, they know which are strong enough to plant by rivers to stop flooding.They know that they should be planted on the banks of the river because they are the food of the water god, and when the water god is well, it will not cause floods.
