Eastern African rain forests are remarkable in their high level of
endemism. Miocene uplift of the central African plateau separated
these montane and coastal forests from the main Guineo-Congolian
forest of west and central Africa. Since then, stable Indian Ocean
temperatures maintained a region of high rainfall throughout
Pleistocene droughts that devastated forest elsewhere on the
continent. Relics of the former Pan-African rain forest survived
here, the study of which provides a unique insight into tropical
evolutionary processes. This book brings together research on the
animals, plants and geography of this intriguing residual forest,
and highlights the need for effective management practices to
conserve its exceptional biodiversity in the face of increasing
pressure for land for cultivation.
