Strategic Direction 3: Improve biological knowledge in the hotspotThe Forgotten Coastal Forests of Mtwara: A Reconnaissance to Prioritize Biological Knowledge forCommunity Conservation InitiativesUndertake biological inventories of major taxa in selected forests in Mtwara region, a largely neglected part of southernTanzania's coast. These data will contribute to assessments of the conservation status of these species and will betranslated into Kiswahili for the benefit of local communities and administration managing these forests.Funding: $69,037Grant Term: 2/05-12/05Grantee: The Society for Environmental ExplorationOverview of Butterfly Faunas of Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests: Biodiversity, Endemism,Collate existing data on all butterfly species, especially endemic butterfly species, throughout the region from existingcollections (the grant recipient has the largest collection of African butterflies in existence), as well as identify gaps in thecurrent knowledge and undertake field surveys to provide a complete a record.Funding: $19,700Grant Term: 2/05-1/06Grantee: African Butterfly Research InstitutePlant Conservation Assessment in the Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests Mosaic BiodiversityHotspot of Kenya and TanzaniaSurvey important sites and species with limited distributions to update the conservation status of forest plants. Species new toscience will be published and type specimens deposited in collections as well as being available online through the websitebelow. This information will contribute to the Red Listing of plant species.http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/vast.htmlFunding: $318,001Grant Term: 2/05-1/08Grantee: Missouri Botanical GardenInstituting a Standardized Sustainable Biodiversity Monitoring System in the Eastern Arc / Coastal Forestsof Tanzania and KenyaMonitor conservation outcomes as a result of all investments undertaken at species, site and landscape scales.
