The Taita Hills forest remnants: a disappearing world heritage

Article Abstract:

Recommendations are presented for sustainable use of Kenya's Taita Hills forests, which are threatened by a growing local population, an increasing demand for agricultural land, and the introduction of non-native plant species that deplete natural resources. Recommendations include improving environmental awareness, providing local people with incentives to adopt sustainable practices, and planting indigenous trees to meet local domestic needs such as building materials and firewood.
