The Arabuko-Sokoke Forest is located on the coast of Kenya, 110 km north of Mombassa and is protected as a national Forest Reserve. The Arabuko-Sokoke National Park is only a small portion of the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Reserve, a few square kilometres in size and is located on the north-western edge of the forest. The National Park was gazetted only in the late 1980s and in fact straddles the Forest Reserve boundary with about 50% lying outside the boundary.

dbpprop:abstract
  • The Arabuko-Sokoke Forest is located on the coast of Kenya, 110 km north of Mombassa and is protected as a national Forest Reserve. The Arabuko-Sokoke National Park is only a small portion of the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Reserve, a few square kilometres in size and is located on the north-western edge of the forest. The National Park was gazetted only in the late 1980s and in fact straddles the Forest Reserve boundary with about 50% lying outside the boundary. This outer section actually lies outside an electric elephant fence installed in 2006/7 and is now fully inhabited by local communities to the extent that there is no sign on the ground to show where the National Park begins or ends. The National Park sadly doesn't add any particular protection to the forest which is the largest fragment of coastal forest (420 square km) left in East Africa, and is an area of high endemism, containing endemic mammals, birds and plants. The Reserve, however, is jointly managed by Kenya Forest Service, Kenya Wildlife Service, National Museums of Kenya and the Kenya Forest Research Institute and is one of the better protected forests in Kenya. The forest was first protected as a Crown Forest in 1943, and was gazetted in the 1960s. The forest is threatened by the desire for land by local people. Several national and international conservation organisations are working with the Kenya Wildlife Service to protect the park. The forest contains three forest types, mixed forest, Brachystegia and Cynometra, each of which protects different communities of plants and animals.
  • Der Arabuko Sokoke National Park liegt im Arabuko Sokoke Wald an der Küste Kenias, 110 Kilometer nördlich von Mombasa.
  • Arabuko Sokoke nationalpark är en nationalpark i östra Kenya. Den utgör en mindre del (bara 6 km²) av Arabuko Sokoke skogsreservat, inrättat 1932. Hela skogsområdet är 420 km². Nationalparken sköts av Kenya Wildlife Service, KWS och skogsreservatet av KWS tillsammans med skogsdepartementet. Arabuko Sokoke nationalpark ligger strax innanför kusten, mellan Kilifi och Malindi, drygt tio mil nor om Mombasa. Den skyddar ett av få kvarvarande fragment av den tropiska skog som en gång täckte hela den östafrikanska kusten. Årsmedelnederbörden i nationalparken ligger mellan 900 i väster och 1100 millimeter i öster. I skogen finns flera endemiska fågel- och fjärilsarter. I Arabuko Sokoke har naturvårdande intressen stått i konflikt med lokala intressen, då det är brist på land i området.
