COUNTRY TARGETS
Each country working group was asked to define a maximum of five conservation
targets which would be crucial in achieving the vision. The following targets were
developed:
Tanzania
All eight coastal forest hotspots at least maintain their forest cover by 2010 to
ensure the continued existence of their coastal forest endemic plant and animal
species and ecosystems (lowland East Usambara area, Kiono-Zaraninge area,
Pugu-Pande area, Zanzibar, Pemba, Matumbi-Kichi Hills area, Lindi area,
Uluguru lowlands area).
At least 30,000 ha (30%) of coral rag forest area on Zanzibar reserved by 2010.
(Reserved = gazettement, set aside for a certain function, legal status).
At least 10 currently gazetted and 20 ungazetted coastal forests are under
integrated participatory forest management by 2010.
At least 30 coastal forests support sustainable activities contributing to poverty
alleviation and economic development by 2010 without harming habitat and
species values.
At least 10 unreserved coastal forests have secure management tenure as forest by
2010. (Secure management tenure = authority and responsibility for management
clarified).
Mozambique
The status and extent of the Mozambican coastal forest is documented by 2005
for the purposes of effective planning and management.
At least three coastal forest areas officially declared as National Protected Areas
by 2005.
Effective management capacity for protected coastal forests in place and
operational by 2007.
Reduce the rate of loss of area of coastal forests to agriculture by at least 50% per
annum by 2010.
