Database of projects in Udzungwa and Kilombero

---

This database lists research and conservation projects in the Kilombero and Udzungwa landscape over the last 50 years, and is meant to inform on the breadth of efforts, facilitate opportunities for collaboration and to help researchers who are new to the area familiarize themselves with past and ongoing work. We are thankful to all researchers that provided the information. The table below lists current projects, while the full database can be downloaded here (xlsx).
