  ABSTRACT: This study investigates conservation challenges for the Grey Crowned Crane in Uganda’s River Rwizi catchment using an integrated approach. It combines GIS-based habitat suitability modelling, field distribution mapping, and community surveys to assess ecological conditions, primary threats, and local perceptions. The study reveals a significant mismatch between optimal habitat locations and actual crane densities, finding that, while communities value the crane culturally, conflicts arise due to crop damage.
