Family / Scientific name - Coastal Forests of Kenya and Tanzania

REMP Technical Report 44: Biodiversity Summary
Coastal forests of Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique are centres of endemism, hardly protected and
in urgent need of a priority status in conservation measures. Further destruction of the remaining
coastal forests will threaten a high number of species, including dragonflies, with extinction.
