      abstract = {This paper presents the results of a household survey  designed to qualitatively evaluate the
impacts of the  invasive alien species Senna spectabilis on the  distribution of welfare across
dependent communities in  Budongo forest reserve (BFR) in Uganda. BFR is the largest  forest
reserve in Uganda with globally significant  conservation values. The study establishes that
households  in BFR have high levels of knowledge on its conservation  values, they are aware of
the invasiveness of S.  spectabilis and its potential to compromise the  conservation values of
BFR, and that S. spectabilis confers  tangible benefits to dependent households, whose  levels
significantly vary with proximity to the reserve.  The study concludes by evaluating strategies
designed to  manage the spread of S. spectabilis in BFR which consider  its demonstrated socioeconomic
impacts.},
