The Eastern Arc Mountains, encompassing an area of some 23,000 km2, are part of the Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot of Conservation International, one of 34 of the world’s richest places for biodiversity that are under continuing extreme threat of loss of their original vegetation. This arc of mountains is geologically ancient, dating back at least 30 million years and possibly 100 million years. Individual blocks are isolated from each other, with the result that they have played an important role as refugia for plants and animals, and as centres of speciation over the millenniaTaxonomic Coverages
