BIODIVERSITY BASELINE: TANZANIA’S COASTAL FORESTS 2011 Figure 2: Number of forest vertebrates across the Coastal Forest sites of Tanzania (based on data from <strong>Burgess</strong> and Clarke 2000); these data are historical and for heavily degraded sites near Dar es Saalam species richness is certainly now much lower than this 2.3.2 Other priority setting approaches Various analytical approaches exist for assessing the degree of biological ‘priority’ within the Coastal Forests of Tanzania. At the larger scale, the biogeographical region that contains the Coastal Forests has been defined as a global biological priority. Moreover, work undertaken as a part of the IUCN Coastal Forests of Eastern Africa book (<strong>Burgess</strong> and Clarke 2000) and the WWF conservation planning (WWF EARPO 2006) has also defined some of the areas of higher biological value within the coastal region. Other approaches using computer based priority setting can also provide some guidance on the importance of different areas within the broader Coastal Forests region. Below we present the results of two such approaches, one an analysis using the programme WORLDMAP of the biological databases developed at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark (http://130.225.211.158/subsaharanafrica), and the other using the programme C-Plan applied to the threatened species data collected by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund and their partners in East Africa for the CEPF Profile for eastern arc and coastal forests (CEPF 2003). 1) Priority areas for African vertebrates. This presents a minimum set of areas in ranked order that have been identified as essential to protect all the 4,202 vertebrates in Africa (Figure 3). Six one degree grid cells are identified as critically important for species conservation using this analytical approach, including the Rondo, Matumbi, Pugu, Gendagenda, and the lowland East Usambaras areas (2 grids). These areas correspond well with the priority intervention landscapes selected for this GEF coastal forests project.
BIODIVERSITY BASELINE: TANZANIA’S COASTAL FORESTS 2011 Figure 3: Ranked priority areas for the conservation of 4,202 species of birds, mammals, amphibians and snakes (not other reptiles) in Sub-Saharan Africa (based on databases compiled to 2007) 2) Priority sites for threatened species. An analysis of the irreplaceability of sites in the coastal region of Tanzania has also been completed; based on records of threatened vertebrates, plants and invertebrates. The approach identifies a scattering of sites within the Tanzanian Coastal Forests, many of which are regarded as wholly irreplaceable (no other options for conservation of that species), while other areas provide more options for conservation (Figure 4). It is perhaps important to note that there are priority sites along the entire coast of Tanzania.
