The Coastal Forests of Eastern Africa may be tiny and fragmented, but the remnants comprise tropical and subtropical broadleaf forests, as well as flagship species, including three endemic monkey species, i.e. the Tana River red colobus, the Tana River mangabey and the Zanzibar red colobus. Hunting by immigrants is one of the major threats to the animal species. The biggest threat, however, is agricultural expansion. Subsistence agriculture and commercial farming have taken up all but 10% of the original habitat, particularly due to poor soil quality and an increasing population.
