Land-use changes on Kitulo Platue, Tanzania

Kitulo plateau of southern Tanzania is high land grassland with many

endemic plant species. This habitat has very limited distribution in

Africa. A change detection analysis revealed that 24% of the area

has been affected by human use over a 16 yr period. The result

of the study initiated conservation measures to be taken for the area. 

Eventually the area has a conservation status.
