<strong>Mahenge</strong> <strong>Scarp</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong>: a biodiversity survey<br />
In 1993-1994, a Yugoslavian-Tanzanian <strong>co</strong>mpany came to mine graphite on the upper slopes of the FR just<br />
west of the road that bisects it. This lasted one month only before the government prohibited it because the<br />
<strong>co</strong>mpany wanted to mine a depth of 60m, thus potentially creating landslides and lethal roads, as well as<br />
the obvious destruction to the forest itself.<br />
