Traditionally, Ankole regional area is used for pasture with the locals depending on farming as their primary source of livelihood. The region is particularly suitable for growing crops and fruits. Apiculture is relatively developed and farming is very widespread but incomes remain at a level which is insufficient for making a decent standard of living. Money-commodity relations are very weak in the target region. The locals get their necessary products mainly through trade. A situation such as this therefore, makes the local population dependent upon natural resources including those resources from the Cultural Heritage Sites.
