montane forest occupied one-third of the territory of present-day Rwanda.
Naturally occurring vegetation is now mostly restricted to the three
National Parks, with terraced agriculture dominating the rest of the
country.Nyungwe, the largest remaining tract of forest, contains 200
species of tree as well as orchids and begonias.Vegetation in the
Volcanoes National Park is mostly bamboo and moorland, with small areas of
forest. By contrast, Akagera has a savanna ecosystem in which acacia
dominates the flora. There are several rare or endangered plant species in
Akagera, including<I>Markhamia lutea</I><SPAN

of large mammals is found in the three National Parks, which are
designated conservation areas. Akagera contains typical savanna animals
such as giraffes and elephants,while Volcanoes is home to an estimated
one-third of the worldwide mountain gorilla population.Nyungwe Forest
boasts thirteen primate species including chimpanzees and Ruwenzori
colobus arboreal monkeys; the Ruwenzori colobus move in groups of up to
400 individuals, the largest troop size of any primate in
Africa.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
