Executive Summary

The Ukaguru Mountains encompass six catchment forest reserves within the Eastern Arc Mountains (Ikwamba, Mamboto, Mamboya, Mamiwa-Kisara North, Mamiwa-Kisara South and Uponera). Mamiwa–Kisara North and South comprise the largest forest block in the Ukaguru Mountains. The reserves cover 14,469 ha (Mamiwa-Kisara North is 8,203 ha and Mamiwa-Kiwara South is 6,266 ha). The reserves are approximately 80 km from Kilosa and 20 km from Gairo. Mamiwa-Kisara forest is part of the Ukaguru Mountains Important Bird Area.

At least three strictly endemic and 14 Eastern Arc endemic vertebrate species are found in the Ukaguru Mountain forests (Rovero et al., 2014). The forests also contain plants species that are either strictly endemic, such as Lobelia sancta (strictly endemic to Mamiwa-Kisara forest), or of restricted distribution, such as Impatiens ukagaruensis as well as Allanblackia stuhlmannii, Schefflera lukwangulensis, Pavetta lynesii, Streptocarpus schliebenii and Arisaema uluguruense (Lovett and Pocs, 1993). There is one newly discovered amphibian species known in Mamiwa–Kisara forest, Nectophrynoides paulae (Rovero et al. 2014).

As part of its survey programme the Tanzania Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) has been conducting biodiversity and forest disturbance surveys in selected coastal and Eastern Arc forests, including Mamiwa-Kisara. A combination of both opportunistic and systematic surveys was used to survey plants and animals in the forest. For plants, botanical collections were also made for detailed further identication in the National Herbarium in Arusha. A total of five survey-sites were selected using satellite imagery based on forest condition. Survey sites were named using the village area nearest to the site location: Site 1 - Nongwe (good forest), Site 2 - Masenge (good forest), Site 3 - Mkobwe (good forest), Site 4 - Mtega East (deforested/good forest) and Site 5 - Mtega West (degraded).

Across the five survey sites, a total of 234 plant species, representing 198 genera and 92 families, were recorded. Three families were found to dominate: Rubiaceae (27 species) Asteraceae (10 species) and Euphorbiaceae (10 species). Of these, 12 taxa (species, subspecies, varieties) are endemic to the Eastern Arc Mountains. Species richness varied across the sites, Site 1 (220 species) was found to have the highest number of plant species whereas Site 3 (155 species) had the lowest. The number of plant taxa endemic to the Easten Arc Mountains and adjacent coastal and mountain regions was highest at Site 2 (8 species).

A total of 76 bird species, representing 62 genera and 26 families, were recorded. Four species occupied all five of the survey sites: Livingstone’s turaco, Mountain greenbul, Common stonechat and Yellow breasted apalis. At least seven near endemic (i.e they are found in at least one other African ecoregion) species were recorded. Species richness was highest at Site 1 (47 species), and lowest at Site 5 (19 species). The number of near endemic species was found to be highest at Sites 1 and 2 (6 species in each), and lowest at Site 5 (3 species).

Forest disturbance surveys included assessment of tree cutting (pole size and timber size) and other disturbances, such as agricultural encroachment, pitsawing, fire damage and footpaths or roads. A total of 55.49 disturbance events per hectare were recorded, with the lowest rate of disturbance recorded in Site 1 and the highest in Site 5 (Table 1).

The level of disturbance at each site might explain the observed variation in plant and bird species richness recorded in the surveys. For example, Mtega West (Site 5) was found to have the lowest number of bird species while also having the highest rate of disturbance. Conversely, Nongwe (Site 1) has the lowest disturbance rate and had the highest number of bird and plant species.

It is recommended that further monitoring be conducted in Mamiwa-Kisara FR to determine the presence of key species, such as the Eastern Arc endemics previously recorded in the Ukaguru Mountains by Rovero et al. (2014), but not recorded in Mamiwa-Kasira FR during this survey. In addition, monitoring of mammal and invetebrate species is required. Effective patrolling and boundary marking is also required to reduce human encroachment and disturbance in the Forest Reserve. The Tanzania Forest Services Agency should proactively seek more management collaboration with local government and adjacent communities.

1 Introduction

1.1 Background to the survey

The Tanzania Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) has been carrying out biodiversity and forest condition surveys in selected forests in the Eastern Arc Mountain and Coastal Forests of Tanzania as part of the Forest Justice in Tanzania project. This survey aims to document the biodiversity values and the levels of resource use and disturbance in these targeted forests.

The overall objective of the survey in Mamiwa-Kisara North Forest Reserve was to provide an up-to-date assessment of the biodiversity value and condition of this forest. Specific objectives were: i) To assess the status of plants, and birds in Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve and the extent of endemism supported by the forest; and ii) To evaluate the current extent of forest disturbance and make site-level recommendations for improved management and protection.

1.2 Biodiversity and ecological value of Mamiwa–Kisara forest

The Eastern Arc Mountain (EAM) forests have been long recognized for their outstanding biological importance (Rovero et al. 2014). The Ukaguru Mountains are one of the 13 EAM blocks. The Ukaguru Mountains comprise six catchment forest reserves (Ikwamba (889 ha), Mamboto (149 ha), Mamboya (204 ha), Mamiwa Kisara-North (8,203 ha), Mamiwa-Kisara South (6,266.4 ha), and Uponera (375 ha) that extend up to 2,264 m in altitude. The forests of the Ukaguru Mountains contain three strictly endemic vertebrate species, all amphibians, and 14 Eastern Arc endemic vertebrate species (Rovero et al. 2014).

Mamiwa-Kisara North Forest Reserve is an important area for biodiversity within the Ukaguru Mountrains. The forest has high plant species diversity including many endemic and rare plant species (Lovett and Pocs,1993). The forest contains plant species of conservation concern, including Lobelia sancta (strict endemic to Mamiwa–Kisara North) and Impatiens ukagaruensis, as well as other restricted-range species such as Allanblackia stuhlmannii, Schefflera lukwangulensis, Pavetta lynesii, Streptocarpus schliebenii and Arisaema uluguruense (Lovett and Pocs, 1993).

The forest is part of the Ukaguru Mountains Important Birds Area (BirdLife International 2012). Baker and Baker (2002) cite records for several vulnerable and near threatened bird species in the forest, such as Mrs Moreau’s warbler  Bathmocercus winifredae (Vulnerable), Iringa akalat Sheppardia lowei (Vulnerable) and Moreau’s Sunbird Nectarinia moreaui (Near Threatened). Menegon et al. (2007) recorded two amphibian species from the family Bufonidae that are strictly endemic to Mamiwa-Kisara: Nectophrynoides laticeps (Endangered) and Nectophrynoides paulae (Critically Endangered). Channing and Stanley described the Critically Endangered Churamiti maridadi from Mamiwa Kisara in 2002 (Howell and Channing, 2004). The Eastern Arc endemic species, Probrevices durirostris (Endangered) was also recorded in Mamiwa-Kisara.

The Mamiwa-Kisara forest comprises an important part of the catchment area for the Gairo basin and the Lufukiri basin within the broader Wami River basin (Lovett and Pocs, 1993).

1.3 Existing threats to Mamiwa-Kisara forest

Between the 1970s-2000s, the forest area of the Ukaguru Mountains was reduced by 3%, with a total change in forest area of 540 ha (Burgess, 2005). Baker and Baker (2002) and Evans et al. (1992) highlight dependence on the forest for fuelwood for heating and cooking by communities living on the cold highland plateau. Baker and Baker (2002) also describe the clearance of 3,600 ha of lowland forest to grow exotic pines. FBD (2005) state that, ‘current principal human forest threats include grazing, firewood collection and tree / pole cutting (Table 8). The former two are prevalent along the boundary and the latter inside the reserve’.

2 Forest Reserve Description

2.1 General description

Name: Mamiwa-Kisara North Forest Reserve.

Reserve Name JB Area (ha) Government Notice Number and Date of Gazettement Mamiwa Kisara North 2097 8,203 cap.132 p.1360

Location: 6°25’00”S and 36°57’00E

Kilosa District, Morogoro Region.

Mamiwa-Kisara North Forest Reserve lies 100 km from Kilosa town (Figure 1). Access is from Mandege Forest Station with the road from Mandege to Lufukiri, passing through the valley between Mamwira ridge to the west and Mnyera ridge to the east. Access to the southern part is from the Mvumi to Mandege road at Makwambe.

Elevation: 1,500 – 2,264 m a.s.l

Management: Central Government Forest Reserve

Status: Protective Forest Reserve.

Major Threats: Tree cutting for timber and poles, agricultural encroachment especially at Mtega, Masenge and Ng’one areas. Small-scale mining is becoming a serious emerging problem at the fringe of the forest.

Villages: Approximately six villages surround Mamiwa-Kisara North Forest Reserve including Nongwe, Mkobwe, Masenge, Mandege, Ng’one and Mtega.

Previous projects: International Council for Bird Preservation biodiversity survey in 1990 (Evans et al. 1992); Biodiversity Research and Awareness in Lesser Known Eastern Arc Mountains (BREAM), Frontier Tanzania Environmental Research.

2.2 Soil

Mamiwa-Kisara North Forest Reserve consists of Acidic lithosols on Precambrian gneiss and granulite basement rocks with extensive areas of exposed rocky cliffs (Lovett and Pocs, 1993).

2.2 Vegetation

Moist forests on the wetter eastern side, mainly on the ridge area, characterize the forest. Heath occurs on the summits with upper montane forest (e.g. Polyscias stuhlmannii, Schefflera lukwangulensis, Garcinia volkensii, Ocotea usambarensis). Montane forest (e.g. Cussonia spicata, Dombeya burgessiae, Clerodendrum sp., Macaranga capensis) and dry submontane forest (e.g. Albizia gummifera, Allanblackia stuhlmannii, Bersama abyssinica) mostly cover the lower slopes. Dry evergreen forests, bushes and wooded grasslands (e.g. Acacia spp., Albizia versicolor, Annona senegalensis, Dombeya rotundifolia) cover the drier southwest slopes of the ridge (Lovett and Pocs, 1993).

2.3 Climate

The forest experiences oceanic rainfall with oceanic temperatures. Approximately 1400 mm of rainfall falls per year (according to data recorded by Mpwapwa Evergreen, Msowero Ginnery nearest stations), with a mist effect at higher altitudes. The dry season occurs June – Oct, with maximum temperatures of 21°C recorded in January and minimum temperatures of 17°C in July at lower altitudes (Lovett and Pocs, 1993).

2.4 Survey sites

Surveys were conducted at five sites in Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve (Figure 2): Site 1 - Nongwe (good forest), Site 2 - Masenge (good forest), Site 3 - Mkobwe (good forest), Site 4 - Mtega-Eastern wing

3 Plants

3.1 Background

Lovett and Pocs (1993) described the botanical values of Mamiwa Kisara North noting that ‘One of the most remarkable plants in the reserve is the giant Lobelia sancta, a strict endemic found in a very small area and related to L. lukwangulensis of the Uluguru Mountains. The herb Impatiens ukagarensis is also very rare’.

3.2 Objectives

Objectives of the botanical survey were as follows: 1. To provide an updated checklist of plant species present in Mamiwa-Kisara forest. 2. To identify and document endemic plant species in Mamiwa-Kisara forest 3. To identify invasive species present in Mamiwa-Kisara forest.

3.3 Methods

Botanical surveys in Mamiwa-Kisawa Forest Reserve were conducted over a period of fifteen days between September and October 2012. In each of the five survey sites, botanical surveys were conducted within different vegetation types. Sampling was conducted in all five sites to allow for detailed identification of plant species (Table 2). At each site the transect number, altitudinal range, and vegetation type were recorded. Plant species were identified and recorded along transects 1 km long and 5 m wide either side. Identifications were made by Moses Mwangoka, and later verified and corrected by Roy Gereau.

Figure 3. Eastern Arc endemic and near-endemic plant species recorded at each survey site in Mamiwa Kisara Forest Reserve.

3.5 Discussion

A total of 234 species, including 198 genera and 92 families, were recorded in this survey. This comprises 6% of the 4122 total plants species recorded in the Eastern Arc (R.E. Gereau, unpubl. data). Moreover, 12 plant taxa (species, subspecies, varieties) endemic to the Eastern Arc Mountains were recorded, comprising 2% of the 608 known plant taxa endemic to the Eastern Arc Mountains (Gereau, unpubl. data).

Site 1 contained the highest number of plant species (n=220), followed by site 2 (n=212) and site 5 (n=188). This might be expected given the good forest condition and low levels of disturbance events in Site 1 (See section 5). However, high levels of plant regeneration were observed in Sites 2 and 5, especially along the fringe of the forest, despite the disturbed condition of the forest in these sites. This regeneration accounts for the high number plant species recorded in these sites.

4 Birds

4.1 Background

Rovero et al. (2014) described a total of 23 bird species as endemic to the Eastern Arc of which 11 are single-block endemics. Rovero et al. (2014) report records of four Eastern Arc endemic bird species from the Ukaguru Mountains: Scepomycter winifredae, Mrs Moreau’s warbler (Vulnerable); Nectarinia moreaui, Moreau’s sunbird (Near threatened); Sheppardia aurantiithorax, Rubeho Akalat (Endangered) and Scepomycter rubehoepsis (Not Listed). The following 14 Eastern Arc near-endemic species (species that occur in the EAM and adjacent mountains) are listed as being present in the Ukaguru Mountains by Rovero et al. (2014):

Arizelocichla chlorigula Arizelocichla masukuensis Arizelocichla milanjensis Apalis chapini Artisornis metopias Batis crypta Cisticola nigriloris Crithagra melanochrous Laniarius fuelleborni Lanius marwitzi Modulatrix stictigula Poeoptera kenricki Sheppardia sharpei Stactolaema olivacea Evans et al (1992) provide a review of previous ornithological research in the Ukaguru Mountains citing surveys by Fuggles-Couchman (1939), Friedman and Stager (1964) Stuart and van der Willigen (1978) and a brief visit by Baker and Baker. From 45 forest species recorded by Stuart (1981), Evans et al reported 51 forest species including Mrs Moreau’s warbler. 4.2 Objectives

The main objective in this survey was to provide an updated checklist of birds in Mamiwa-Kisara North Forest Reserve with a special focus on threatened and Eastern Arc endemic species.

4.3 Methods

Two methods were used to assess bird fauna: mist netting and direct observations. These methods were adapted from Doggart et al. (2006).

4.3.1 Observations/Opportunistic survey

Opportunistic surveys were carried out in the area over a total of eight days. At Sites 1, 3, 4 and 5, the bird specialist, Elia Mulungu, walked in different directions from camp to compile a list of bird species present in the forest. The recorder moved in four directions at each site (North, East, South and West). Every bird species seen or heard was recorded, and bird vocalizations were taped with an acoustic recording device. For each site, bird observation survey effort was 10 hours per day for each of the eight days of the survey, totalling 80 hours of observation.

4.3.2 Mist netting

Mist nets were set up in the good forest at Site 2. Every day during sampling, mist nets were set at first light in the morning (6.30 am) and then checked frequently at 25-30 minute intervals throughout the day until sunset. Captured birds were removed from the net, identified and then immediately released. Birds were identified to the species level.

4.3.3 Sites

Five sites were surveyed as follows: Site 1 = Nongwe (good forest); Site 2 = Masenge (good forest); Site 3 = Mkobwe (good forest); Site 4 = Mtega- eastern wing (good forest/degraded) and Site 5 = Mtega (degraded) (Table 5 and Figure 4).

4.4 Results

A total of 76 bird species, including 62 genera and 26 families, were recorded during the survey (Table 6; Figure 5). Of these, four species were recorded in all five sites, Livingstone’s turaco (Tauraco livingstonii), Mountain greenbul (Andropadus nigriceps), Common stonechat (Saxicola torquatus) and Yellow breasted apalis (Apalis flavida). Seven near endemic to EAM bird species were recorded in the survey, with the most near-endemic species being recorded in sites 1 (n=6) and 2 (n=6) and the least near-endemic species being recorded in sites 3 (n=3) and 5 (n=3) (Table 7). The number of species recorded closely reflects the level of observed disturbances across the survey sites (See section 5).

4.5 Discussion

Both endemic and IUCN red-listed bird species were observed in Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve. This includes Shelley`s greenbul (EAN), Green headed oriole (EAN), Forest batis (EAN), Chapin’s apalis (EAN) and African tailorbird (EAN). Forest disturbance might be used as an indicator of bird species richness in the different survey areas. For example, the sites representing forests in good condition (Site 1–Nongwe and Site 4–Mtega-East) were found to have higher bird species richness (Figure 5). Conversely, the highly disturbed sites such as site 2–Masenge and Site 5–Mtega-West were found to have lower species richness. About 98% of the total species recorded in the survey were categorized as Least Concern as per IUCN categories of red listed species. Further research is required to confirm the presence or absence of more species of special conservation concern.

Of the four Eastern Arc endemic species reported as being present in the Ukaguru Mountains by Rovero et al. (2014), none were recorded during the current survey. Of the 14 Eastern Arc near-endemic species listed as being present in the Ukaguru Mountains by Rovero et al. 2014, six species were recorded but the following eight species were not recorded during the current survey:

Arizelocichla chlorigula Cisticola nigriloris Crithagra melanochrous Laniarius fuelleborni Lanius marwitzi Poeoptera kenricki Sheppardia sharpei Stactolaema olivacea

One Eastern Arc near endemic species was recorded in the Ukaguru by the current survey, which was not documented as being present in the Ukaguru Mountains in Rovero et al. (2004), Oriolus chlorocephalus.

5 Forest disturbance

5.1 Background

Mamiwa-Kisara North Forest Reserve faces a number of threats including grazing, firewood collection and tree / pole cutting (FBD, 2005). Fire is also a significant cause of disturbance. Rates of disturbance recorded by FBD in 2005 were lower than in many other forest reserves.

Table 8. Rates of pole and timber cutting recorded by FBD in 2005 in Mamiwa Kisara North FR (source FBD, 2005).

Howell et al. (2006) described fuel wood collection and timber extraction as the major threats in Mamiwa-Kisara South and agricultural encroachment, pitsawing, fire damages and poles extraction as threats to Mamiwa-Kisara North. Between 1975 and 2000, 51.2 % of the woodland and 4.8 % of the forest in the Ukaguru Mountains was cleared (FBD, 2006).

5.2 Objectives

Disturbance surveys were carried out to achieve the following aims:

1. To assess the level of disturbance in Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserves by documenting all observations of disturbance and their intensity.

2. To gain a general understanding of the level of threats to Mamiwa-Kisara forest and its fauna and flora.

3. To determine site-specific priorities for conservation and management.

5.3 Methods

A total of 13 disturbance transects were carried out at the five survey sites: four at Site 1; three at Site 2, and two at Sites 3, 4 and 5 (Table 9, Figure 7). Methods used were adapted from the TFCG survey manual (Doggart, 2006). The level of disturbance was measured by counting the number of incidents of pole cutting, timber cutting, traps and other disturbances in a 10 m strip (5m on either side of the transect line) along each 1 km transect. The disturbance transect was sub-divided into 50 m sections and data were recorded separately for each section. The longitude, latitude and altitude of the start and end points of each disturbance transect were marked with a GPS, and transect bearing was recorded and followed using a compass (Table 10).

For the purpose of this survey, poles were defined as all trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 5-15 cm. Timber trees were defined as all trees exceeding 15 cm DBH (see Appendices). All other forms of anthropogenic disturbance within 5 m of either side of each transect were also recorded for every 50 m section. These other forms of disturbance were defined as follows:

1. Fire damage: area affected by fire, demonstrated by burnt trees and ground vegetation. 2. Charcoal: area of charcoal burning evidenced by small patches of burnt ground with charcoal

remains. 3. Pitsaw: area cleared for pitsaw activities, with pitsaw platform, or remains of such. 4. Timber/planks/poles: cut timber, planks or cut poles found on the ground ready for transport. 5. Trapping: animal traps of all varieties whether set or sprung. 6. Cultivation: evidence of crop cultivation (past or present). 7. Grazing: direct evidence or remains of cattle or goat grazing.

  28  

8. Footpath: including all human-used paths. 9. Clearing: well-established clearings within the forest as a consequence of human disturbance

(usually short grassland, potentially previous settlement). Table 9. Total number of disturbance transects carried out in Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve.

5.4.2 Timber extraction.

A total of 252 timber disturbance events were observed in Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve. Of this, 91% was old cut timber (n = 230) and 9% (n = 22) was freshly cut timber. As recorded for pole disturbance, Site 5 – Mtega-West had the highest rate of total cut timber per hectare, and Site 1 – Nongwe the lowest (Figure 9).

Figure 9. Rate of cut timber recorded per hectare across survey sites in Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve.

5.4.3 Other disturbance In total, 75 other disturbance events were recorded across the survey area (Table 11). Of these, 68% (n = 51) were paths/roads, 15% (n=11) was fire damage, 5% (n=4) were pitsaw and 12% (n=9) was agriculture (cultivation). Again, Site 5 – Mtega-West had the highest rate of other disturbance events per hectare, and Site 1 – Nongwe the lowest (Figure 6).

5.5 Discussion

The types of disturbance observed within Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve varied by survey site. However, Site 5 – Mtega-West consistently had the highest rate of disturbance per hectare, and Site 2 – Masenge the second highest. This might be due to easier accessibility, as both sites are close to the villages. Lack of boundary marking has resulted in agricultural encroachment into the reserve especially at Mtega-West and Masenge. Lovett and Pocs (1993) also observed the same types of disturbance within Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve. Pitsawing was observed in the Masenge area. Human footpaths were a dominant type of other disturbance; these footpaths traverse the Forest Reserve facilitating access especially in the Masenge-North area.

The mean rate of tree cutting recorded in the reserve is significantly lower than the average rate recorded for Central Government Forest Reserves in 2004 (FBD, 2005). For example, the survey recorded a mean rate of 27.6 cut trees (old and new) per hectare compared with an average of 35.8 cut trees per hectare for 19 Central Government Forest Reserves. Similarly for poles, the rate recorded for Mamiwa-Kisara of 21.4 cut poles (old and new) per hectare is half the mean rate (42.1 cut poles per hectare) recorded in 2004. Although the mean rate is lower, the rate at Site 5 is significantly higher than the mean rate recorded in other reserves highlighting the need to concentrate management efforts in this area.

6 Conclusions & Recommendations

Literature indicates that the Mamiwa-Kisara forest is the most important forest in the Ukaguru Mountains in terms of its biodiversity values providing habitat for three Ukaguru-endemic vertebrate speices and one Ukaguru-endemic plant species, including the charismatic and Critically Endangered tree toad, Churamiti maridadi. Global analyses by BIrdLife International classify the Ukaguru Mountains as an Important Bird Area (IBA) and a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA).

The TFCG surveys recorded 234 plant and 76 bird species in Mamiwa-Kisara FR including 12 Eastern Arc endemic plant taxa and seven bird species endemic to the Eastern Arc and adjacent areas. Additional survey effort is required to assess the status of mammals, herpetofauna and invertebrates in the reserve.

Overall, the survey indicates high forest disturbances in terms of tree cutting, path/roads, clearance of forest for agriculture and pitsawing at Sites 5–Mtega-West and 2–Masenge.

Survey results indicate a negative correlation between species richness and the number of disturbance event in the forest. For example, site 1–Nongwe, which was less disturbed than other sites, was found to have high numbers of plant and bird species.

Additional management effort and investment is needed to prevent further forest and biodiversity loss from the reserve.

It is recommended that:

1. The Tanzania Forest Services Agency work closely with local government and adjacent communities to prevent further forest clearance and logging, particularly in the Mtega West and Masenge areas.

2. The Tanzania Forest Services Agency collaborates with adjacent communities and local government in order to establish equitable joint forest management.

3. Further research is carried out to understand the distribution, abundance and conservation status of flagship species that are rare and cryptic within the reserve.

4. Both biodiversity and threat monitoring are carried out to update knowledge of this forest. This is crucial to improve the biodiversity assessment of the forest, and to improve detection of changes in species abundance and distribution. This is especially true for species of conservation concern such as restricted range species and those that are IUCN Red Listed above Least Concern. It is recommended that such monitoring include methods to capture information on reptiles and small to medium mammals.

5. Proper forest boundary marking is necessary to reduce human encroachment in the forest. Forest boundaries are currently unclear, resulting in rapid encroachment by agriculture especially at Mtega, Ng’one and Mandege areas.

6. Awareness raising events should be organized involving adjacent communities and other stakeholders in order that there is a better understanding of the importance of the reserve and the threats that it is currently facing.
