Slide 17: Map of vegetation zones within the Virunga Volcanoes National Park.  The map was created from the SAR (Shuttle Airborne Radar)  image shown in Slide 8 by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Project at Rutgers University. In subsequent slides you will see upclose ground-level views of these different vegetation zones. Also compare this map with the more generalized altitudinal belts identified in  Slide 15 and the table in Slide 16
