in uganda's stunning rwenzori mountains national park, for instance, the crash in tourism was followedtating floods and landslides. we've been to meet some of the people now working to rebuild their villages, tourist infrastructure, and their lives. this is africa's botanical big game because it has got lots of things that you can't find anywhere in africa, like the trees, like animals, like the scenery, like everything. it's really, really very unique. when most people come here and they see the beautification, they see the scenery here, they're like... they go home surprised, because it's something they don't believe that it is here. it's another unique world. what makes rwenzori mountains so special is all the surroundings, especially the water bodies, the place being very green with so different types of trees, which most of them are medicine. in the rwenzori mountains, we have five different zones, which includes the savanna grassland, we've got the tropical rain forest zone, the bamboo zone and then afro alpine zone. and the moorland, which isjust bare rocks and then the glacial.

national park is, like multiple national monuments all thrown together. for example, yellowstone which was the first national park, has its wildlife values, and has a mountain range, has a huge, high-elevation lake, it has all of the thermal features, and so on. that is generally what set the parks apart from monuments. you know, it is a fuzzy boundary between them. there are areas that are national parks that probably, rightfully should be national monuments, and vice versa. otto's early attempts to make the monument accessible included trails into the canyons and pioneering a road up the east side of the monument called the serpents trail. the serpents trail served not only to afford access to the monument, but also afforded access for ranchers living south of the monument access to their land, and so on. at some point otto envisioned that that serpents trail would be the starting point for a road that he called the union road, which will continue from the grand junction area southern california. he was a big schemer. he was always dreaming of these huge projects and so on. that is one of the reasons he eventually left the monument. that other forces thou

it's part of a national park that was declared a unesco world heritage site $994.00. the forest is home to an estimated 1000 mountain gorillas. but their habitat is now threatened because humans are moving ever closer and could even spread the colder 1000 buyers to the gorilla population. can we stop the spread of such though not of diseases? what part are humans play in this process? and is there a connection between colvin climate change and the destruction of wildlife habitats? some african countries plan to reforest 100000000 hectares of land over the next 10 years. how do they plan to do this? today we're going to visit a mountain gorilla habitat. our guide is dr. gladys sorcha, a veterinarian 1st some anti virus measures dr. kelly might see kusaka co-founded, an organization that aims to protect wildlife from disease spread by humans, but it funded the organization in 2003. and at that time, people do not think it was a priority. they recognized that it was an issue, but they didn't think it was such a big problem. but the could be mentioned in the show, and that is really the big problem. then if you want to

in this mountain heartland, realm of year-around sports, discover denver, mile high jewel in the rockies crown. in this range that divides the waters of the continent, all around are national parks with glaciers and sapphire lakes. down there, too, are trees and trails with animals, both wild and tame. in a canyon near durango an iron horse still travels through the west. the fantastic west, endless variety, ski slopes and dude ranches, sagebrush and pine trees, canyons and cliffs. the ruins of a sun temple. mysterious cliff dwellings, tucked behind the ledges lining mesa verde. the ancient indians left behind nothing more than empty shells. but you may discover a navajo or hoppe village of today placed in secret in the land of prehistoric gods, monument valley. a few short hours could take you down the indians trails that lead to mighty texas. behind glenn canyon dam lies more than 100 miles of enchanted lake. this is lake powell. until a handful of years ago, one of the most inaccessible areas on the continent. and sparkling blue that lies beneath the landscape and water lovers can race their boats and soak up sun. today lake powell is a favorite discovery for those who like t

park on san bruno mountain. we're ready for the rain to come in. it's the red scan you're seeing there and it's scanning a smaller area than you see from the nationalvice radar. better detail of the rain as it moves in. this rain will be very spotty today. out ahead of that some high wind gusts really picking up. check out san francisco, gusts at 38 miles an hour. elsewhere it's about 15 to 20, up to 25, close to that in santa rosa. the winds will be gusty this morning as the cold front moves in. let's go hour by hour and talk about when that rain arrives. we're going to start to see spotty rain for parts of the north bay. here we are at 1:30 and not most of the bay area will see those showers yet. moving into coastal sonoma county and sonoma at 1:30, 2:00. very light, spotty rain at about 7:00. and still a lot of the bay area missing out on that, but it looks like we could start to see heavier cells moving in around midnight and some may contain heavy downpours along with thunder and lightning. we'll watch out for that with the possibility of this very cold rain coming through. tomorrow we take a break from the rain and then as we head into sunday
