Albertine Rift Regional Biodiversity Information System (ARBMIS)
ARBMIS is an information resource sharing from ARCOS and its partners in the Albertine Rift region. The overall purpose of “ARBMIS” initiative is to develop a harmonised, participatory and cost-effective regional biodiversity monitoring framework that generates and provides information that is used by all stakeholders for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development in the Albertine Rift region.
