A Checklist of the Mammals of Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, Kenya, 2018
Versão mais recente publicado por A Rocha Kenya em Jan 17, 2019
Arabuko-Sokoke Forest (ASF) found in Kenya, is the largest coastal forest in eastern Africa. The forest is a biodiversity hotspot of global conservation importance for harbouring many endemic and globally threatened species. We reviewed published literature and used field reports of different mammal expeditions undertaken in ASF to compile a comprehensive checklist of mammal species known to occur in Kenya. A total of 73 species of mammals have been recorded in ASF. The checklist contains the current accepted common and scientific names of mammal species provided by authors who published the six volumes of the Mammals of Africa. The checklist is expected to be updated with additions of new species in future especially when additional surveys and the taxonomic status of small mammals (e.g., bats, shrews and rodents) becomes better understood.

Dados Sobre o Projeto
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 coastal 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.

| Descrição da Área de Estudo | Arabuko-Sokoke Forest is the largest remaining patch of indigenous coastal forest in East Africa. It is located just south of Malindi 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 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. |
| Descrição do Design | This checklist contains records of mammals found in Arabuko-Sokoke Forest. The data is from confirmed observations. Other species were recorded through camera trap images and others caught by use of mist nets for example bats. The initial list was compiled in 2002 by Erustus Kanga and since then a few additional species have been appended by Simon Musila of National Museums of Kenya in 2018. |
