Description

The goal of the project was to compile metadata of biodiversity data generated from REDD+ Pilot Projects in Tanzania. Specifically to develop data collection tool to capture the required data, inventory of REDD+ data holders and the type of data they hold, convene IPT-training workshop for holders of biodiversity data from REDD+ project to enhance publishing.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The Coastal Forests of East Africa are a chain of relict forest and thicket patches set within savannah woodlands, wetlands and agricultural land. The forests extend from Southern Somalia to Southern Mozambique and west to Malawi. They have been defined by WWF as the ‘Eastern Africa Coastal Forests Ecoregion’ and contain two WWF Global 200 ecoregions: the Northern and the Southern Zanzibar-Inhambane Coastal Forest Mosaics
