Slide 22: A vertical view of the southwestern slopes of Mt. Karisimbi from  Mudende Commune.  It shows the agricultural lands in the lower Afro-Montane and Bamboo Belt. Within the park one can see distinctly the natural vegetation belts that remain: bamboo, Hagenia Woodland, Lower Afro-Alpine (Ericaceous Belt), Upper Afro-Alpine, and the Nival Zone.  See the map of vegetation zones shown earlier (Tour IV, Slide 17).
