100 Languy and Motombe encroachment in Cameroon and Africa in general but holds a large variety of birds. This study also confirmed that Takamanda holds a large array of lowland forest species. This is an important finding that further emphasizes the conservation value of the area because of its location at the northern limit of the lowland forest block. For many species, Takamanda is the largest forest block at the northern limit of their distribution. The Reserve also corresponds to the limit of several West African species, some of them being immediately replaced by their Central or East African equivalents. In addition to the conservation value of the Reserve’s position at the border between West and Central African avifauna, Takamanda represents an opportunity for field research in biogeography. 5 Recommendations Following our preliminary surveys, we recommend the following: 1. The highest elevations of Takamanda Forest Reserve should be fully protected, together with a significant proportion of transition forest. 2. Because montane avifauna in Takamanda and Obudu plateau form one biological unit, a transboundary conservation measure should be implemented for long-term protection. 3. The lowland sector of the reserve is particularly important because it represents true Guineo- Congolian forest. This sector, at the northern edge of the large Central African forest block, deserves conservation attention. 4. There are approximately10 montane species and 10 to 20 lowland forest species that are likely to be found in Takamanda but that have not yet been recorded. More surveys should be conducted, of at Takamanda: the Biodiversity of an African Rainforest least 10 days duration in the montane sector and two to three weeks duration in the lowland sector. Optimal timing for the surveys is December at the beginning of the breeding season. Both tape recordings (playback) and mist netting should be employed.
