Survey small mammal species (shrews, bats, and rodents) in three lesser-known sites - North Pare, Rubeho, and Malundwe Mountains - to fill a gap in current level of knowledge. Bilingual education materials, based upon the findings of these surveys, will serve to improve the local appreciation of these often overlooked species.

Strategic Direction: 3 Improve biological knowledge (all eligible sites)
