Mapping of undescribed coastal forest and identification of new species in south-east Tanzania The Coastal Forests of East Africa have the highest biodiversity conservation priority in Africa, however, little is known about their distribution. Recently we have conducted an integrated survey of Kilwa and Lindi district in Tanzania. Assisted by digitally enhanced Landsat images we found, classified and mapped large areas of so far undescribed coastal forest types and tree species. Our methods have implication for conservation of the remaining coastal forest of Eastern Africa.
