Upgrade Biodiversity Importance Status of Dedza Forest Reserve Key Biodiversity Area in Malawi

Implement a baseline tree and orchid inventory in Dedza-Salima Forest Reserve and a complete orchid survey of Thuma Forest Reserve in Malawi. Using these lists, demonstrate the need to incorporate Thuma into the Dedza-Salima Forest Reserve Key Biodiversity Area (KBA), as well as potentially raise the biological priority of the KBA due to the presence of previously undocumented orchid species. Provide training for scouts in vegetation identification to implement more systematic monitoring and management of the newly extended KBA.
