Abstract
Lowland forest in southern Somalia is restricted to the Holawajir depression and banks of the Jubba and Shabeelle Rivers. Riverine forest probably covers less than 3,000 ha and is undergoing rapid clearance for farming, so that it seems unlikely to survive this century. Further biological survey is required but the flora, and bird and mammal faunas, appear to be impoverished compared with those on the lower Tana River in Kenya.
