Despite intense publicity, habitat loss still remains a serious threat to biodiversity. Forest destruction is its frontrunner, both in terms of physical habitat under threat and potential for biodiversity loss. In the fragmented landscape of the Taita Hills, SE Kenya, several bird species are facing the threat of extinction from forest loss.
