摘要

The BIOTA East Africa Atlas has been finalised in time and to full satisfaction. Some of the challenges encountered have their background in the cooperation with a less developed country. However, most of them added to the motivation of the core team involved, while only some were experienced as struggles. Most challenging was a) the exact fitting of text in the remaining, strongly varying space after having placed maps and graphics on each page, b) the organising of (joint) forewords (the printing process had even to be stopped), and c) the harmonising of atlas content prepared within a team of highly motivated individuals. All challenges related to the atlas production could be met within the tight time frame, for those left related to atlas dissemination and use we stay optimistic. This joint Kenyan-Ugandan-German effort would not have been possible without the fruitful and trusting cooperation which has evolved over the past nine years. Three forest areas - two countries - one atlas: landscape-level BIOTA East Africa outcomes (geodata and interpretations) were made available in an appealing, easy-to-handle, and long-lasting format. Being unique in addressing target groups of considerably differing backgrounds, the atlas is hoped to contribute to an increasing awareness of the vulnerable East African rainforest ecosystems among the local communities. The atlas should also be of use in decision making for a sustainable forest management and conservation and will help to gain a better scientific understanding of the ongoing change processes and resulting patterns (Schaab et al., 2009a). It is to be judged in the years to come as to whether the challenge of addressing three distinct user groups within one atlas has worked out. In countries like Kenya and Uganda, however, in order to make full potential of maps and the use of geospatial data further broad capacity building is needed. With workshops based on our atlas we like to in particular target pupils and students and their teachers/lecturers as well as decision makers from the forest management and governmental authorities including the higher policy level.
