"Health of indigenous people is generally an under-researched area. So often times, the quality of health data that we have on indigenous populations is not as ofhigh a quality and it's not as long-term data sets compared to non-indigenous communities from the same country."
The Batwa people helped in the preliminary research. They were given digital cameras and taught how to use them. The Batwa then took pictures of how their environment has been affected by climate change and discussed their findings with researchers. They reported increased periods of heavy rainfall and warmer temperatures throughout the year.
One of the ideas being considered to help the Batwa is to set up a community radio station broadcasting in the local language. Topics would include health, weather conditions, etc. The Batwa have been described as "conservation refugees." The Ugandan government relocated them from their forest homeland to make a national park to protect silverback gorillas.
The Indigenous Health Adaptation to Climate Change Project is in its initial data-gathering stage. That will last several years. Phase two will consist of using that data to form action plans to protect indigenous people and their water supplies.乌干达项目是气候变化下原住民健康适应性项目的一部分。该项目研究气候变暖对乌干达、加拿大和秘鲁的影响。
“原住民健康问题有待开展进一步的研究。因为和相同国家的非原住民相比，原住民的健康数据，要么质量不高，要么采集周期不长。”
巴塔瓦人协助进行了初步研究。他们得到数码相机，学会如何使用。随后，巴塔瓦人用照片记录了天气变化如何影响他们的环境，并就他们的发现和研究人员探讨。他们还记录到了全年变长的强降雨和高温天气周期。
帮助巴塔瓦人的一个主意是建立一座社区广播站，用当地方言播放。播报内容包括健康、天气状况等。巴塔瓦人被形容为“环保难民”。为建立一座保护银背大猩猩的国家公园，乌干达政府把巴塔瓦人从森林的家园中迁出。
气候变化下原住民健康适应性项目还处于早期的数据搜集阶段，这一阶段将持续数年。第二个阶段包括，使用这些数据制定行动计划，来保护原住民和他们的水源。
