REMP Technical Report 44: Biodiversity Summary<br />
At least 11 Rufiji mammal species are forest dependent <strong>and</strong> a further 34 species may use the forest<br />
edge <strong>and</strong> other habitats such as woodl<strong>and</strong>s. Only nine species are listed as non-forest species.<br />
It should be noted that the presence <strong>of</strong> a small population <strong>of</strong> a Red Colobus species, most likely the<br />
Iringa RC, was confirmed in the Mtanza Msona forest. It would seem this population is now extinct<br />
as there have been no sightings since 1999 (Butynski, T. pers.comm.). There are rumours that<br />
another population might exist around Mangwi, in or close to the Ngumburuni forest block.<br />
