REMP Technical Report 44: Biodiversity Summary REMP contributed both through observations by its staff and a systematic bird count in the Delta (Nasirwa et al. 2000) and two mist netting surveys in the Kichi Hills Forest (Mbilinyi et al 2002) and the Ngumburuni Forest (Boswell et al. 2003). A total of 431 species from 79 families have been recorded in Rufiji District. Of these, nine species are listed on the IUCN Red Data lists, five as ‘Vulnerable’ (VU) and four as Lower risk/ near threatened (LR/nt). Vulnerable species include: Madagascar Squacco Heron Ardeola idea Lappet-faced Vulture Torgos tracheliotus Imperial Eagle Aquila heliaca Corncrake Crex crex East Coast Akalat Sheppardia gunningi Lower Risk / near threatened species include: Lesser Flamingo Phoeniconaias minor Southern Banded Snake Eagle Circaetus fasciolatus Great Snipe Gallinago media African Skimmer Rynchops flavirostris 25 of the species are forest dependent, a further 231 species may be found in forest edges but also use other habitats such as woodland and wooded grasslands. 172 species are Non-forest species, many of these are wetland species utilising lakes, rivers, mudflats, sandbars and coastline. Special mention should be made of the record of the puguensis race of the Pale-breasted Illadopsis Illadopsis rufipennis in Ngumburuni forest. This race is likely to become a full species when genetic analysis of this complex group with a patchy distribution and long isolation gets underway, In that case the species would most likely immediately be upgraded to threatened status. Previously it had only been recorded in the Pugu and Kazimzumbwi Forests. The latter has already almost entirely been converted to charcoal in spite of efforts by a variety of individuals and organisations. 36
