Strategic Direction 3: Improve biological knowledge in the hotspotThe Forgotten Coastal Forests of Mtwara: A Reconnaissance to Prioritize Biological Knowledge forCommunity Conservation InitiativesUndertake biological inventories of major taxa in selected forests in Mtwara region, a largely neglected part of southernTanzania's coast. These data will contribute to assessments of the conservation status of these species and will betranslated into Kiswahili for the benefit of local communities and administration managing these forests.Funding: $69,037Grant Term: 2/05-12/05Grantee: The Society for Environmental ExplorationOverview of Butterfly Faunas of Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests: Biodiversity, Endemism,Collate existing data on all butterfly species, especially endemic butterfly species, throughout the region from existingcollections (the grant recipient has the largest collection of African butterflies in existence), as well as identify gaps in thecurrent knowledge and undertake field surveys to provide a complete a record.Funding: $19,700Grant Term: 2/05-1/06Grantee: African Butterfly Research InstitutePlant Conservation Assessment in the Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests Mosaic BiodiversityHotspot of Kenya and TanzaniaSurvey important sites and species with limited distributions to update the conservation status of forest plants. Species new toscience will be published and type specimens deposited in collections as well as being available online through the websitebelow. This information will contribute to the Red Listing of plant species.http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/vast.htmlFunding: $318,001Grant Term: 2/05-1/08Grantee: Missouri Botanical GardenInstituting a Standardized Sustainable Biodiversity Monitoring System in the Eastern Arc / Coastal Forestsof Tanzania and KenyaMonitor conservation outcomes as a result of all investments undertaken at species, site and landscape scales. Inaddition, provide a mechanism for all data accrued from projects to be available to address the most urgent priorities thatcan be compared against an analysis of forest change throughout the region.Funding: $64,132Grant Term: 1/05-12/08Grantee: Conservation InternationalCoordination, Facilitation and Dissemination of Research Works within the Critical Ecosystem PriorityFacilitate researchers in obtaining research permits and in conducting research to ensure that the information generatedwill be disseminated to the relevant government departments and community-based organizations.Funding: $20,000Grant Term: 1/05-12/05Grantee: Wildlife Conservation Society-TanzaniaField Guide to the Moist Forest Trees of TanzaniaPublish the completed text of a Field Guide to Moist Forest Trees of Tanzania.Funding: $19,697Grant Term: 9/04-2/05Grantee: University of York3
Conservation Ecology of the Endangered Endemic Sanje Mangabey Cercocebus sanjei of the UdzungwaMountains, TanzaniaComplete a study that will define, for the first time, the ecological requirements, behaviour and demographics of the SanjeMangabey Cercocebus sanji in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park. These data are vital in determining theconservation needs of this highly endangered endemic primate.Funding: $13,000Grant Term: 8/04-10/05Grantee: Dr. Carolyn L. EhardtPreventing Unsustainable Timber Trade from the Coastal Forests of Southeast Tanzania FollowingCompletion of the Mkapa BridgeBuild on existing baseline research about threats to coastal forests from illegal timber extraction in this hotspot, which hasincreased due to completing the Mkapa Bridge over the Rufiji River in southeast Tanzania and improved infrastructure.TRAFFIC will undertake a rapid assessment of the threats to these forests and define conservation action needed.Funding: $19,999Grant Term: 7/04-6/05Grantee: TRAFFIC International“Scientific Advisor” for the Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests of Tanzania and Kenya HotspotProviding up-to-date advice on the research priorities within the hotspot the scientific advisor will also ensure that dataare collected in a standard and comparable manner, thus ensuring that a cohesive set of research projects are implementedthroughout the hotspot.Funding: $90,400Grant Term: 7/04-6/05Grantee: Conservation InternationalManaging CEPF’s Outcomes Database for the Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests Of Tanzania andMaintain and expand the conservation outcomes database for this hotspot pending the development of a comprehensivemonitoring system for the duration of the CEPF investment period. Ultimately, this will improve the Red Listing ofspecies and benefit conservation action in the region.Funding: $9,998Grant Term: 3/04-2/05Grantee: East Africa Natural History SocietyChytrid Distribution and Pathogenicity Among Frogs of the UdzungwasConduct a study to improve understanding of the level of infection and the threat posed by the Chytrid fungus amongstendemic amphibian species in the Udzungwa Mountains.Funding: $19,999Grant Term: 3/04-3/05Grantee: Wildlife Conservation Society*The original grant term has been increased by three months.Primates on Mt.
