SPATIAL PLANNING BASELINE: TANZANIA’S COASTAL FORESTS 2011 Mchekela - 24.30 VLFR TFCG Mbwara - 2,274.88 VLFR TFCG Kilungulungu - 349.44 VLFR TFCG Kibambo - 33.93 VLFR TFCG Kianika - 232.83 VLFR TFCG Yelya - 1,293.38 VLFR TFCG Nambunju - 2,071.18 VLFR TFCG Tawi - 2,515.31 VLFR TFCG *This forest is located about 30km north of the boundary of the Matumbi-Kichi Hills Landscape Source: Kashaigili et al. 2011 Within the Matumbi landscape tropical ferruginous sandy soils are common and support dry or semidry forests including areas of miombo and the Kichi Hills FR. Clayey vertisols (black cotton soil) occurs along river banks (Mwasumbi et al. 2000). A catenary sequence is found on the hill tops with a thin (3-4 cm) humus layer. On the hill sides, soils are coarser, shallower and better aerated with the depth of humus related to the level of human disturbance. Valley bottoms have deep loamy soils underlain by fine clays with high water retention ability. Soils do degenerate quickly once forests are cleared for agriculture reaching complete degradation in about 15 years. The main river that runs through the Matumbi landscape is the Rufiji River on the northern boundary of the landscape. Small rivers within the landscape include the Tamburu, Muhoro and Hanga Rivers which originate within the Matumbi Hills landscape. The Matumbi Hills is quite a dry landscape with settlements occurring in the valleys relying on numerous seasonal rivers, marsh lands and shallow wells for water supplies. Perennial pools are found in valleys and serve as important water sources for animals during the dry season. Village land forest reserves Some of the large areas of unprotected forest in the landscape have been included within Village Land Forest Reserves: Nambunju (1996 ha), Tawi (2775 ha) and Mbwara (600 ha) (Figure 8). Other areas proposed to be conserved as village land forest reserves include Masangasi, Muulah, Kiwambo and Kitemambagalo forests. Wildlife corridors A preliminary study by Perkin et al. (2008a) identified a number of potential corridors in this landscape. The corridors include: Kichi Hill–Selous GR. Animals pass to and from Selous Game Reserve to Kichi Hill FR through coastal forests outside the Kichi especially on the Western and Southern part of the hill. Kiwengoma FR–Tong’omba FR. This corridor also harbours Kainika and KilungulunguVillage Land Forest Reserve( VLFRs) which in essence serve as stopovers for animals in search of water and food. Namakutwa/Nyamwete–Tamburu–Kitope FR. Namakutwa/Nyamwete–Nambunju–Kiwengoma FR. Ruhoi–Ngumburuni–Rufiji Mangroves
SPATIAL PLANNING BASELINE: TANZANIA’S COASTAL FORESTS 2011 A broad consultation with stakeholders from this landscape in 2011 (Kashaigili et al. 2011) identified and mapped the remaining corridors, which are: Selous Game Reserve (GR)–Tapika–Kichi–Katundu FR–Rufiji River Tawi–Kiwengoma–Namakutwa FR–Tamburu–Kiwanga and then cross the main tarmac road. Tawi–Kitope–Somanga–Simu (Sanduku FR). This corridor is followed during the breeding season. A modelling approach was also used to define potential corridors (Figure 10); some of these confirm those identified by stakeholders, notably between Rupiange FR and Kichi Hill FR and Namakutwa- Nyamwete FR and Mohoro FR and Tamburu FR (Figure 9). However, a simulated corridor between Kingoma FR and Mangroves passes through settlements because that is the least cost route between the two patches. This is an example of where the model produces a corridor which cannot work in the real world.
