The Eastern Afromontane Hotspot is remarkable for both its high level of diversity and life-sustaining systems for millions of people and 10,856 species, a third of which (30.8 percent) are endemic. This includes the Rwenzori three-horned chameleon (The hotspot is home to more than 323 amphibian species, more than 100 of which are endemic, with more species being discovered as surveys are conducted in unstudied forest patches.The geological turmoil that created the mountains of this hotspot has also yielded some of the world‘s most extraordinary lakes, such as Lake Tanganyika (the world‘s second deepest lake at 1,471 meters deep), Lake Albert, Lake Tana and Lake Malawi.Due to the presence of these large and isolated lakes, a vast amount of freshwater fish diversity can be found in the Eastern Afromontane region, with more than 890 described species of fish, nearly 620 of which are endemic.While most invertebrates of the Eastern Afromontane are not well studied, the butterfly fauna is relatively well known.

Map: Conservation Outcomes Eastern Arc Mountains and Coastal Forests 2010 Eastern Afromontane Ecosystem Profile Summary, 2012 - Appendix 1 The Eastern Arc mountains contain at least 800 endemic plant species, 10 endemic mammals, 19 endemic birds, 31 endemic reptiles and 40 endemic amphibians. The Eastern Afromontane Region (EAR) contains numerous endemic species, yet its reptile diversity remains relatively poorly understood.

Geographic focus will be on the Omo/Turkana, Tanganyika, and Malawi/Nyasa Lake Basins.“The fact that both calls for proposals are launched at the same time, at the same place, with aligned application and assessment processes, shows the good intention of these two donor agencies to coordinate their approaches to supporting conservation in this African region,” said Dr Julius Arinaitwe, Africa Regional Director for BirdLife International, which – together with IUCN and the Ethiopian Wildlife and Natural History Society - coordinates the CEPF Regional Implementation Team for the Eastern Afromontane hotspot.
(2004) when the worldwide hotspot total was raised from twenty- five to thirty- four. Given this and the extensive distance of the hotspot, which stretches over 44 degrees latitude, the Eastern Afromontane is home to a variety of ecosystems—bamboo forests, grasslands and high altitude wetlands among them. The endemic species are invaluable resources. For example, the Critically Endangered Taita thrush (The Eastern Afromontane is home to nearly 500 mammal species, more than 100 of which are endemic. Out of the near endemic species recorded, Ethiopian cisticola occurred exclusively in the moist Afromontane forest, whereas other species were present in both habitat types. For more information on that investment, see theThe Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot reaches from the top of four mountain ranges (including the highest peaks in Africa and Arabia) down to large plateaus.
'Touchwood’ – Raising Global Awareness of the Value of Tanzania’s Southern Key Biodiversity AreasAnthony Onyango (Tonywild photography www.tonywild.co.ke) In the context of the Regional Great Lakes Stakeholders Forum, organised by the Albertine Rift Conservation Society (ARCOS) on 21 and 22 February 2013 in Kigali, Rwanda, representatives of CEPF and the MacArthur Foundation announced their new calls for proposals.The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is looking for proposals that aim to mainstream biodiversity into wider development policies, plans and projects to deliver the co-benefits of biodiversity conservation, improved local livelihoods and economic development in the Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot.

Eastern Afromontane Annual Portfolio Review, 2014
The Eastern Afromontane encompasses several widely scattered, but biogeographically similar, mountain ranges in eastern Africa. In the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania, DNA techniques are showing that there are various cryptic species in different mountains, particularly in dense forest-dwelling groups such as greenbuls, flycatchers and sunbirds.Several of the endemic species in the hotspot have tiny ranges. Despite its wealth in natural resources, the region is characterized by intense and pervasive poverty.
