Figure 5.1. Forest bird species of special conservation interest in the Tanganyika-Nyasa Montane Forest Group. The table includes all Threatened, Near-threatened and other restricted-range[1] species occuring in this area. For each species a shortening of its global category of threat is used to "tick" the species in the table (see key below). Encircled squares: 11 species that are endemic to only a single mountain area. See [2] and [3].

 

Key, Tanganyika-Nyasa Montane Forests: Taita: Taita Hills and Mt. Kasigau, Southern Kenya. Pares: Pare Mountains, Northern Tanzania. Usambaras: Usambara Mountains, Tanzania. Ngurus: Nguru Mountains, Tanzania. Ukagurus: Ukaguru Mountains, Tanzania. Ulugurus: Uluguru Mountains, Tanzania. Udzungwas: Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania. S. Highl.: Southern Highlands of Tanzania. N. Malawi: Northern Malawi (includes mountain ranges north of 14°S, e.g. Misuku Hills, Nyika Plateau [a part of Nyika Plateau is in extreme NE Zambia], and Viphya Mountains). S. Malawi: Southern Malawi (includes mountain ranges south of 14°S, e.g. Shire Highlands, Mount Mulanje and Mount Thyolo). Mt. Namuli: Mount Namuli, Mozambiqe. Mt. Chiper.: Mount Chiperone, Mozambique. Njesi Pl.: Njesi Plateau, Mozambique. +: Forests outside the Tanganyika-Nyasa mountain range, these are explained under "Key, foot notes".

Certain areas, e.g. Northern Malawi, could be split into more biogeographical units, but the aim of the present table is only to give a rough overview. Especially the montane ranges in Mozambique are poorly known. See also 1.

 

Key, categories of threat: Threatened (Th): With category Threatened in Collar et al. (1994). (The category Threatened is further subdivided in Collar et al. (1994). For simplicity and because the book reached us late in the writing phase these subdivisions are not included here). Near-threatened (Nt): With category Near-threatened in Collar et al. (1994). Restricted-range but not Threatened or Near-threatened (xx): Not considered Threatened or Near-threatened in Collar et al. (1994) but with an estimated breeding range of less than 50.000 km2. The estimations of breeding range are our own, see 2.

 

Key, foot notes given in table: 1: Also in the Mahenge Highlands, isolated south of the Udzungwas and belonging to the Tanganyika-Nyasa Montane Forest Group, and in coastal Mozambique, near Beira. 2: Also in the Matengo Highlands, SW Tanzania, which are situated immediately south of the Southern Highlands. 3: Sokoke-Arabuko forest at the coast of Kenya (main population). 4: Three forests in eastern Zimbabwe (Chirinda Forest, Vumba Highlands, Stapleton) and Mount Gorongoza, Mozambique. 5: Coastal Sokoke-Arabuko Forest, Kenya (main population). 6: Certain montane forests in Kenya. 7: Several coastal forests of Tanzania, Mozambique and Kenya. 8: These are not given full species status in Dowsett and Dowsett-Lemaire (1993). 9: Earlier records exist from gallery forest around the lower Tana River, Kenya. It may still survive here in remaining forest patches though sometimes considered "possibly extinct". 10: This remarkably elusive and little known migratory thrush also occurs (at least seasonally) in certain coastal forests of Kenya, Tanzania, northern Mozambique and South Africa. Two races are known from single specimens from Zaire and Sudan. 11: Discovered as recently as in 1991 (Dinesen et al. 1994). 12: Several coastal forests in Kenya, Tanzania (including Zanzibar) and Mozambique. 13: Coastal woodlands and forests from Southern Somalia south to Natal and Zululand in South Africa; inland in Voi, Kenya and Ruaha N.P., Tanzania. 14: Forests and well-wooded country in coastal lowlands from the lower Jubba Valley, Somalia, to Wami River, Tanzania (with records from Zanzibar in the 1930ies). Inland in Shimba Hills, Kenya, and on Mafi Mountain, Tanzania. 15: Also in the Uvidundas (south of the Rubehos). 16: Forests (locally moist bushland) in coastal Kenya and Tanzania (thinly distributed); also Shimba Hills, Kenya.

Concerning the intensity of general field observations: The amount of time and number of persons "available" varied quite much between the stations, we advise the reader to see Table 2.1 and Section 5.4.
