The classification algorithm applied was a supervised maximum likelihood classifier. In this process, analysts delineate training sites for each land cover or change class, based on visual interpretation, and referring to ground reference data and high-resolution QuickBird imagery available on Google Earth. The entire Landsat images are classified based on the statistics of the image data in each class. The final classification was filtered to remove patches of less than 2 2 hectares. This method follows that reported in Harper et al. The Eastern Arc forest and woodland cover and change analysis incorporated ground truthing data from the following mountain blocks: Uluguru, Ukaguru, Rubeho, Mahenge, Image and Udzungwa. Twenty-meter SPOT imagery was also used to assist image interpretation for the East Usambara, Nguru, Nguu, Ukaguru, Rubeho, and Uluguru mountain blocks. Accuracy of the land cover classification of the Coastal Forest region was estimated using high-resolution QuickBird imagery acquired between 2000 and 2001. Over 3,000 randomly-selected points from available high-resolution images were used in the accuracy assessment. These points were visually interpreted and labeled according to their true class, and then intersected with the final map to determine areas of agreement and disagreement. The overall map accuracy is 88% for forest cover in circa 2000. 2. Harper, G., Steininger, M.K., Tucker, C.J., Juhn, D. and Hawkins, 2007.

Harp er Tana Galana Pangani Wami Ruvu Rufiji Ruvuna I NDIAN O CEAN Kilombero Kilombero map area Zanzibar he Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests of Tanzania and Kenya has among the highest density of T endemic species of any biodiversity hotspot in the world. The combination of extraordinary species endemism and an extremely high degree of threat led to the designation of this region as a biodiversity hotspot. This is one of the regions of the world that is likely to witness significant species extinctions in the coming decades. In 2004, a refinement of the original hotspots analysis resulted in this region being included as important parts of two larger, separate hotspots: the Eastern Afromontane – the montane regions of eastern and north-eastern Africa, and the Coastal Forests of Eastern Africa – which include a lowland forest mosaic along the coast of East Africa. However, 2 this area still covers over 30,000 km , thus further prioritization is required to direct investment towards conservation sites on the ground. The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) investment in the region is focused on conserving the region's 333 globally threatened species, which are primarily found within 133 Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), which are sites of global significance for biodiversity conservation. The highest priority KBAs are called Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) sites; these sites contain one or more highly threatened species found nowhere else on Earth, thus, if an AZE site is lost one or more species will be extinct. CEPF's strategy in the region is to select sites for conservation intervention that deliver maximum conservation impact in terms of preventing extinctions, restore and increase connectivity among fragmented forest patches, increase protected area coverage, and assist communities to develop alternative livelihoods that prevent further forest destruction. Mapping the baseline of forest cover is key to carrying out this strategy. Finally, monitoring KBAs and AZE sites provides an important measure of both overall threat to biodiversity and success of current conservation efforts. Habitat loss is the primary factor threatening species with extinction. Thus, the single most effective means of conserving biodiversity worldwide is by protecting Key Biodiversity Areas—sites where threatened and restricted-range species occur. Remote sensing data helps us understand the human and natural modifications to habitats that support important biodiversity. Fine-resolution, low-cost satellite data can be analyzed to track changes over time in habitat cover. In this case we mapped change in primary forest and woodland cover within KBAs between 1990 and 2000. In East Africa, primary forest and woodland are important habitats for many globally threatened and range-restricted species, with the forests being of particular importance. Change in primary forest and woodland cover from 1990 to 2000 within Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) sites The chart above shows change in the proportion of natural habitat cover for all KBAs and AZE sites. Findings across the extent of analysis show that overall habitat extent is greater for AZE sites compared to all KBAs. However, a higher rate of habitat decline is seen within AZE sites compared with all KBAs during the 10-year period. Similar overall habitat extent and rate of loss is seen for Tanzanian KBAs and AZE sites. For Kenya however, results show a lower rate of habitat loss in KBAs and AZE sites. Conclusion There is a great need to continue directing conservation investments within KBAs; in particular AZE sites where habitat loss threatens species more susceptible to extinction. Such conservation efforts need to be based upon sound science and address the needs of the communities reliant on the products and services provided by the forests. Monitoring and reporting of biodiversity status, pressures and conservation responses must also continue over the long-term. In a world of limited resources and increased accountability, it is essential that such biodiversity monitoring efforts serve as a central means for guiding government policy and conservation planning and investment in East Africa. By systematically monitoring national and regional biodiversity status and trends we can support both reporting obligations and natural resource decision-making processes; specifically where, how and why future biodiversity conservation investment and strategies should be dedicated.

MethodologyEastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests Taita HillsForest cover and change was mapped by analyzing Landsat A multi-scale segmentation/object relationship modeling satellite imagery from circa 1990 and circa 2000. Most of the (MSS/ORM) approach was applied to map land cover at a images were obtained for free from NASA's Geocover project, landscape level in the Taita Hills. The software tool used was which stores data at the University of Maryland's Global Land eCognition. Various segmented image object spectral, contextual Cover Facility ( ). Additional images for and hierarchical properties were utilized in the classification cloudy areas were purchased from USGS and SPOT to have process. The output map was subject to final visual inspection more complete coverage. and manual editing of any noted errors, relative to the SPOT

imagery. Overall map accuracy of 89% was calculated using The analysis was conducted at a spatial resolution of 28.5 meters. ground reference test data collected during field visits to the Taita The Landsat images from circa 1990 and circa 2000 were Hills in January 2005 and 2006 and from 0.5m resolution true-combined into one file, and the classification of forest cover and color digital aerial photography flown in January 2004 change was conducted in a single process with the multi- (3 months after the SPOT acquisition date).temporal data. The classification algorithm applied was a supervised maximum likelihood classifier. In this process, analysts delineate training sites for each land cover or change class, based on visual interpretation, and referring to ground reference data and high-resolution QuickBird imagery available on Google Earth. The entire Landsat images are classified based on the statistics of the image data in each class. The final classification was filtered to remove patches of less than 2

2hectares. This method follows that reported in Harper et al.

The Eastern Arc forest and woodland cover and change analysis incorporated ground truthing data from the following mountain blocks: Uluguru, Ukaguru, Rubeho, Mahenge, Image and Udzungwa. Twenty-meter SPOT imagery was also used to assist image interpretation for the East Usambara, Nguru, Nguu, Ukaguru, Rubeho, and Uluguru mountain blocks.

Accuracy of the land cover classification of the Coastal Forest region was estimated using high-resolution QuickBird imagery acquired between 2000 and 2001. Over 3,000 randomly-selected points from available high-resolution images were used in the accuracy assessment. These points were visually interpreted and labeled according to their true class, and then intersected with the final map to determine areas of agreement and disagreement. The overall map accuracy is 88% for forest cover in circa 2000.

he Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests of Tanzania and Kenya has among the highest density of Tendemic species of any biodiversity hotspot in the world.

The combination of extraordinary species endemism and an extremely high degree of threat led to the designation of this region as a biodiversity hotspot. This is one of the regions of the world that is likely to witness significant species extinctions in the coming decades. In 2004, a refinement of the original hotspots analysis resulted in this region being included as important parts of two larger, separate hotspots: the Eastern Afromontane – the montane regions of eastern and north-eastern Africa, and the Coastal Forests of Eastern Africa – which include a lowland forest mosaic along the coast of East Africa. However,

2this area still covers over 30,000 km , thus further prioritization is required to direct investment towards conservation sites on the ground. The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) investment in the region is focused on conserving the region's 333 globally threatened species, which are primarily found within 133 Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), which are sites of global significance for biodiversity conservation. The highest priority KBAs are called Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) sites; these sites contain one or more highly threatened species found nowhere else on Earth, thus, if an AZE site is lost one or more species will be extinct. CEPF's strategy in the region is to select sites for conservation intervention that deliver maximum conservation impact in terms of preventing extinctions, restore and increase connectivity among fragmented forest patches, increase protected area coverage, and assist communities to develop alternative livelihoods that prevent further forest destruction. Mapping the baseline of forest cover is key to carrying out this strategy. Finally, monitoring KBAs and AZE sites provides an important measure of both overall threat to biodiversity and success of current conservation efforts.

Habitat loss is the primary factor threatening species with extinction. Thus, the single most effective means of conserving biodiversity worldwide is by protecting Key Biodiversity Areas—sites where threatened and restricted-range species occur. Remote sensing data helps us understand the human and natural modifications to habitats that support important biodiversity. Fine-resolution, low-cost satellite data can be analyzed to track changes over time in habitat cover. In this case we mapped change in primary forest and woodland cover within KBAs between 1990 and 2000. In East Africa, primary forest and woodland are important habitats for many globally threatened and range-restricted species, with the forests being of particular importance.

Change in primary forest and woodland cover from 1990 to 2000 within Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) sites

The chart above shows change in the proportion of natural habitat cover for all KBAs and AZE sites. Findings across the extent of analysis show that overall habitat extent is greater for AZE sites compared to all KBAs. However, a higher rate of habitat decline is seen within AZE sites compared with all KBAs during the 10-year period. Similar overall habitat extent and rate of loss is seen for Tanzanian KBAs and AZE sites. For Kenya however, results show a lower rate of habitat loss in KBAs and AZE sites.

ConclusionThere is a great need to continue directing conservation investments within KBAs; in particular AZE sites where habitat loss threatens species more susceptible to extinction. Such conservation efforts need to be based upon sound science and address the needs of the communities reliant on the products and services provided by the forests.

Monitoring and reporting of biodiversity status, pressures and conservation responses must also continue over the long-term. In a world of limited resources and increased accountability, it is essential that such biodiversity monitoring efforts serve as a central means for guiding government policy and conservation planning and investment in East Africa. By systematically monitoring national and regional biodiversity status and trends we can support both reporting obligations and natural resource decision-making processes; specifically where, how and why future biodiversity conservation investment and strategies should be dedicated.
