Appendix 2. MIOMBO ECOREGION HABITATS<br />
<strong>Miombo</strong> <strong>Ecoregion</strong> <strong>Report</strong>, page 77<br />
The ecoregion planning process identifies areas of importance based on species diversity and<br />
endemism, as well as ecological or evolutionary processes. Representation of habitats across the<br />
area is not explicitly covered.<br />
Recognising this, the plant/vegetation group at the October workshop attempted to identify many<br />
of the best examples of habitats across the ecoregion, also trying to ensure representation of all<br />
major types. This is presented here and in Figure 7 below, but must be considered very<br />
preliminary.<br />
A total of 29 areas were identified that are considered to be important habitats, and also give<br />
good representation of the major types across the region. These are based on the important plant<br />
areas, and were enlarged to cover all vegetation types and Afromontane <strong>for</strong>ests and grasslands.<br />
