This document concerns the second sub-project, on the 570 ‘Timbers of Tropical Africa’ from currently less important timber-producing taxonomic families (Commodity group 7(2)). It is preceded by a sub-project on the 500 ‘Timbers of Tropical Africa’ from the currently more important timber-producing taxonomic families (Commodity group 7(1); ITTO Project PD 264/04 Rev. 3 (M,I)). PROTA is strongly rooted in the group that successfully delivered the ITTO-funded PROSEA ‘Timber trees’ Handbook volumes.

Box 4241 Kampala, Uganda www.tourism.go.ug [email protected] © RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES IN UGANDA 2018 Ministry of Wildlife, Tourism and Antiquities Foreword Uganda is a signatory to several international conventions that relate to the conservation of all biodiversity in the country such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and Cartagena protocol all intended for the benefit local communities and global community. Species are disappearing due to various pressures on natural resources. Due to human population increasing trends and development pressures, previously intact habitats both protected and on private land have been converted, cleared and/or degraded leading to a decline in species population and diversity. The effects of climate change, which are hard to forecast in terms of pace and pattern, will probably also accelerate extinctions in unknown ways. Studies have been conducted to tally the number of species of animals, plants and fungi that still exist globally. However the estimates normally produced are based on the International Union of Conservation of Nature criterion that at times overshadows the national scales.

  • Vegetation Zonation and Nomenclature of African Mountains
    Vegetation zonation and nomenclature of African Mountains - An overview Abstract This review provides an overview on the vegetation zonation of a large part of the mountain systems of the African continent. The Atlas and Jebel Marra are discussed as examples for the dry North African Mountains. The Drakensberg range is shown as representative of the mountain systems of Southern Africa. The main focus of the review falls on the Afrotropical mountains: Mt. Kenya, Aberdares, Kilimanjaro, Mt. Meru, Mt. Elgon, Mt. Cameroon, Mt. Ruwenzori, Virunga, Simien Mts., Bale Mts. and Imatong. A new nomenclature for the vegetation belts of Afrotropical Mountains is proposed. Key words: Africa, mountain vegetation, vegetation belts, nomenclature, Mt. Kenya, Aberdares, Kilimanjaro, Mt. Meru, Mt. Elgon, Mt. Cameroon, Mt. Ruwenzori, Virunga, Simien Mts., Bale Mts., Imatong, Atlas, Jebel Marra, Drakensberg Geology, landforms and soil conditions Africa is an old continent. Nowhere else is so much of the surface covered by basement rocks, and the larger part of the geology of Africa is indeed the geology of pre-cambrian material (Petters 1991). Large areas, so called cratons, have remained essentially unchanged since the early Proterozoic (~ 2000 Mio BP). The mobile belts, i.e. the huge basins and swells between these cratons, are composed of equally old rocks, but have been subject to deformation and partly to metamorphoses, mainly in the Pan-African orogenesis (700 - 500 Mio years BP). Today, relief differences are relatively small in these areas, so the continent can be described as a large, uneven plateau, which is tilted to the northwest. Extensive erosion surfaces covered by ancient, heavily leached soils are more widespread in Africa than on any other continent, and the huge relatively flat Savannahs are well known.

  • Field Guide to the Moist Forest Trees of Tanzania
    Field Guide to the Moist Forest Trees of Tanzania Jon C. Lovett, Chris K. Ruffo & Roy E. Gereau Illustrations – Line Sørensen & Jilly Lovett Formatting and distribution maps – James Taplin 1 Introduction This field guide started life as a file card index prepared by Jon Lovett during field work in Tanzania from 1979 to 1992. The text derived from the original index was substantially added to by the students Jette Raal Hansen, Karin Sørig Hougaard, Vibeke Hørlyck, Peter Høst, Kristian Mikkelsen, Rosa, Josefine, Henry Ndangalasi and Ludovick Uronu at the Botanical Museum of Copenhagen during training excercises in 1994. Chris Ruffo added information on local names and uses and Roy Gereau checked, uptaked and edited the nomenclature and included species missing from the original list. The participation of Chris Ruffo was supported by the DANIDA Tree Seed Centre. Moist forests are defined here as evergreen and semi-deciduous closed canopy vegetation that ranges from lowland groundwater and riverine forests to elfin mist forests on the tops of high mountains. A large tree is defined as being greater than 10 m or 20cm diameter at breast height. The diameter measurement is included so that stunted trees in cold high elevation forests are covered. There are a great many trees smaller than 10 m in height, particularly in the family Rubiaceae. The height limit thus constrains the number of species included. A few species known only from the forests of eastern Kenya are included. This is to ensure full coverage of large trees from the Eastern Arc and Coastal Forest biodiversity “hotspot”. The book “Kenya Trees Shrubs and Lianas” by Henk Beentje contains a full coverage of the Kenyan species.
