The Murchison Falls-Albert Delta Ramsar site is one of the most sensitive areas within the Murchison Falls Landscape. It is largely composed of papyrus islands. The Ramsar site is inhabited by various rare and resident bird species most notably the Shoebill Stork

Economic development activities within Murchison Falls National Park may inevitably compromise its ecology and biodiversity; it is therefore paramount to comprehensively understand the park ecology so as to devise means to safeguard its integrity and ecosystems.
