Описание
Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, located just south of Gede in Kilifi County, Kenya, has been studied ornithologically for over 100 years. This list represents a checklist of 261 species of bird recorded within the boundaries of the forest together with those recorded from the section of Arabuko Swamp that occurs within the northern boundary near Arabuko / Mijomboni. Records have been collated from as many reputable sources as possible, vetted for accuracy and include specimen records together with sight observations and mist-net capture records.

Данные проекта
On the north coast of Kenya lies the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest (ASF) and, once contiguous to ASF, the Gede Ruins National Monument forest. A forest locally, nationally and internationally recognised for its threatened forest landscape and unique biodiversity, ASF is a UNESCO biosphere reserve, considered by Birdlife as the second most important forest for threatened bird species conservation on mainland Africa and listed among the ccoastal forests of eastern Africa hotspot; because of many globally threatened and endemic species. The combined effect of climate-change and socio-economic change in the region poses a high risk to this forest and its biodiversity. Management of the forest has also to accommodate competing conservation demands. In particular, the elephant population is fenced within the forest to mitigate conflict with surrounding communities but has a direct impact on habitat and biodiversity. But, too little evidence currently exists to quantify biodiversity trends and status. Existing data are scattered and often ‘locked up’ in non-digitised or inaccessible digital form. These data could provide significant insights to inform ASF management decisions for biodiversity conservation and research if they were in an accessible format. BID funds would bring together A Rocha Kenya, the National Museum of Kenya (NMK), Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Animal Demography Unit of University of Cape Town (ADU), and the Arabuko- Sokoke Forest Guides Association (ASFGA) to access, assess, digitize, engage and improve the data for birds, mammals, invertebrates, reptiles and higher plants in order to inform the management of this important, unique and threatened forest ecosystem.

| Описание района исследования | Arabuko-Sokoke Forest is the largest remaining patch of indigenous coastal forest in East Africa. It is located south of Malindi on the north coast of Kenya at 03° 20’ S, 39° 50’ E. It predominantly consists of three distinct forest habitat types. Cynometra Forest (c. 23,500 ha) is dominated by Cynometra webberi and Manilkara sulcata; it used also to be dominated by Brachylaena huilliensis but this has been largely selectively removed. The Brachystegia Woodland (c. 7,700 ha) is dominated by Brachystegia spiciformis on white sandy soil. Mixed Forest (c.7,000 ha) occurs on the eastern side of the forest and has a diverse tree flora including Afzelia quanzensis (formerly dominant), Hymenaea verrucosa, Combretum schumannii and Manilkara sansibarensis and the cycad Encephalartos hildebrandtii. A series of seasonal wetlands run north-south along the length of the forest where the more clay-rich red soils underlie the permeable white sandy soil of the Brachystegia. Arabuko Swamp is the northernmost of these wetlands and straddles the northern boundary of the forest. Only records of birds known to have been observed within the boundary are included in this list. |
| Описание плана выполнения исследований | Records of birds found in Arabuko-Sokoke Forest were collated into a single checklist. Data were taken from published papers, specimens, confirmed observations and mist-netting. The initial list was compiled in 1995 (Fanshawe, 1995). Since then additional species have been appended and three species removed which were strongly out of range and lacked sufficient evidence to warrant their inclusion. Data were aligned to the Darwin Core Standards before publishing through the IPT at the National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi. |
