Info

Eastern Arc Mountains Forests of Tanzania vegetables and medicinal plants for local consumption is allowed in the Community Use Zone. Buffer zones: There are a number of Village Forest Reserves, including Kizingata and Mzungui VFRs in Zirai and Kizerui villages and the proposed Village Forest Reserve of Mfundia in Magoma Division, that are effectively community buffer forest strips around the Nature Reserve. There are also buffer strips at Kizerui Village, Magunga-Mziya Village (approximately 250 m wide), Kitivo-Makumba and Bosha Kwemtindi that require legal recognition. Communities will be encouraged to prepare simple management plans, with provisions in buffer zones to conserve traditional species of tree crops, fruit trees and multipurpose trees. Use of traditional species to establish woodlots as alternative sources of wood will also be promoted. Other provisions: Natural regeneration of trees species will be encouraged, especially species such as Ocotea usambarensis that are disappearing from the East Usambaras. Gaps in the forest, from where Cannabis sativa, Cardamom, Lantana camara and tobacco have been removed, will be planted with Khaya anthotheca, Newtonia buchanannii, Albizia spp and Allanblackia stulhmani. Exotic invasive tree species will be removed. On farm forestry, with planting of Allanblackia stulhmanii, will be encouraged among village communities to reduce pressures on forest resources inside the Nature Reserve. Integrity with respect to OUV Nilo is the second largest block of forest under protection in the East Usambaras, after Amani Nature Reserve. The central ridge that runs along Nilo’s southern leg is planned to link up with Amani Nature Reserve via Derema forest corridor, which is due to be notified a Forest Reserve. Both Nilo and Amani nature reserves are part of the East Usambara Biosphere Reserve, established in 2000 and covering a total area of 90,000 ha, of which 30,000 ha is core area and 12,000 ha is buffer zone. Uluguru Nature Reserve Outstanding universal values The Uluguru Mountains hold 211 (38%) of the 554 plant taxa endemic to the Eastern Arc Mountains. They are on a par with the Udzungwa Mountains as being the most important mountain blocks with respect to Eastern Arc Mountain endemic plants. While the Udzungwa Mountains hold more endemic plant taxa than the Uluguru Mountains, the latter have more taxa that are endemic to the block then the former. A total of 80 taxa (38% of Eastern Arc Mountain endemics) are restricted to the Uluguru Mountains, of which 68 taxa are recorded only from Uluguru Nature Reserve. Notable is the genus Impatiens for which the Ulugurus are a centre of radiation. Of the 13 endemic species of Impatiens found within Uluguru Nature Reserve, 8 restricted in their distribution to this site. There are also 3 endemic species of African violet – Saintpaulia.
