Presently, most of the forest cover under protection is located on the upper slopes of mountains and highlands. The slopes of some mountains have fertile volcanic soils which support farming. They also experience cool climate which favours animal rearing.
Forests on the mountains provide wood for timber and wood fuel. On the top of mountains, it is too cold and rocky, no crops can be grown there. Mountain vegetation act as a home for different animal species and birds for example Mt. Elgon national park and Rwenzori national park.
