ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We wish to acknowledge the United Nations Development Programme through the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism for appointing FORCONSULT to undertake this important assignment. The Conservation and Management of Eastern Arc Mountain Forests Project of the same Ministry also provided logistical support to make this assignment possible. Specifically, we wish to extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Neil Burgess and Dr. Felician Kilahama for their technical inputs and advice. We are also indebted to the team leader Prof. G.C. Kajembe and his technical team namely Prof. K.F.S. Hamza, Dr. A.N. Songorwa, Dr R.J.L. Mwamakimbullah, Mr. L. Mbwambo, Mr. L.P. Lusambo, and Mr. S.P. Kingazi for undertaking the assignment on behalf of FORCONSULT. Gratitude is also extended to Mr. Njana, an IFRI Research Assistant, for his willingness to summarize some of the literature for this work. Furthermore, we are indebted to Mr. R. Kilenga, MSc. student at SUA, for his cooperation in information sharing especially with regard to East Usambara forests. Last but not least we are indebted to all government and non-governmental project officials, village traders and villagers in the Eastern Arc Mountains who provided close cooperation during literature search and primary data collection. However, while the good things of this report are common property, the shortcomings are solely ours. xi
1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background In Tanzania, the Eastern Arc Mountain forests are spread across twelve mountain blocks and represent one of the oldest and most stable terrestrial ecosystems on the continent (Burgess and Kilahama, 2005; Newmark, 1998; Pòcs, 1988). The mountain blocks include North and South Pare, West and East Usambara, Nguru, Nguu, Uluguru, Ukaguru, Udzungwa ranges, Mahenge, Rubeho and Malundwe hill (NFP, 2001; Burgess and Kilahama, 2005). The total area of the natural forest and closed patches are estimated to be over 533,400 ha and 150,000 ha respectively. The Udzungwa Mountains contain the largest area of natural forest followed by Nguru and Nguu combined, Uluguru, Rubeho and East Usambara (Newmark, 1998). Table 1 shows the Eastern Arc Mountain blocks and their forest cover sizes.
