About us
Welcome to the website for the Coastal Forests of Kenya and Tanzania. The aim of this website is to provide different interest groups with information about the Kenyan and Tanzanian coastal forests; this includes conservation professionals, development partners, researchers, tourists and the general public. The website provides general information about the coastal forests, the pressures and threats faced and the conservation initiatives conducted in the area. Publications and website links are listed, and access to digital copies of reports is provided where possible. You can also find out about tourism opportunities in the area. In total 199 forests are listed with detailed forest descriptions, arranged by Region and District in each country, covering 176 forests (58 for Kenya and 118 for Tanzania) which have varying levels of protection and biodiversity values. Information has been collated from various sources and represents the majority of the known knowledge for the major coastal forest fragments in Kenya and Tanzania. This site also provides information about five coastal forests in Mozambique. These forests are part of the Southern Zanzibar-Inhambane coastal forest mosaic ecoregion and are biologically similar to the more northerly forests of Tanzania and Kenya which are the main focus of this website.
