<strong>Mgambo</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong><br />
5.4.6 Distribution of endemic and forest dependent species<br />
Almost all near endemic and forest dependent fauna were captured or observed outside the 9 most<br />
disturbed areas (Figure 24). Fire and grazing were the two most significant forms of disturbance in<br />
<strong>Mgambo</strong> FR (refer to Figures 17 and 18 and disturbance discussion, page 36 of report) and it is<br />
likely that illegal grazing poses the greatest threat to endemic and forest dependant fauna within<br />
the reserve as the forest patches are further encroached.<br />
