Editorial

Documenting Africa's Biodiversity and

the role of Natural History Collections

The present volume is the result of a hitherto unprece-

dented collective effort of zoologists from Kenya and

Germany, who cooperated to promote inventorying

and protection of East African biodiversity. With finan-

cial support of the German Federal Ministry for Edu-

cation and Research, participants of the BIOTA East

Africa project were able to document the condition of

Kakamega forest, to inventory part of its flora and fau-

na, to understand the socioeconomic factors that lead

to deforestation, and to improve the infrastructure at

the collections of the National Museums of Kenya in

Nairobi. These collections are the largest for East Africa

and result from a long tradition of faunistic and floris-

tic field work. The result of this effort is the implemen-

tation of an IT infrastructure for the administration of

large collections, a faster access to collection data, the

chance to produce e.g. lists sorted by taxa or by local-

ities, or to publish online the holdings of the collec-

tions to make them better known and accessible to re-

searchers abroad.

Natural History Collections are the basis for any re-

search dedicated to species diversity. These collections

contain the evidence for the existence of a species in

space and time. The relevance of this type of data has

grown enormously since we became aware of the

large-scale changes of the biosphere caused by human

activities, which threaten the survival of national bio-

logical treasures. Collections are also essential for ba-

sic taxonomic research. Any taxonomist who wants to

describe new species of grasshoppers from East Africa,

for example, has the chance to compare new materi-

al with species kept in the important collections of the

National Museums of Kenya. Holotypes are especially

relevant. They document the characters that define a

species and the morphotype of the species that exist-

ed in the type locality. Today collections are also used

for inventorying at genetic level (e.g. for DNA-barcod-

ing).

The present volume is in this context a very useful

catalogue that can be consulted before you visit the

collections or ask for loans. It covers the taxa Pisces,

Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, Araneae, the major orders of

insects, and provides in addition checklists for the fau-

na of Budongo Forest (Uganda) and Kakamega Forest

(Kenya).

Most of the work has been done by the staff at the

National Museums of Kenya in Nairobi. The leading sci-

entist on the German side was Dr. Karl-Heinz Lampe,

who got strongly involved to advance the digitization

of existing collections in Nairobi and to train the staff

working in collections. He was before responsible for

the specimen-based database of Museum Koenig in

Bonn and he wanted to transfer his knowledge to the

collections in Kenya. He convinced the German Fed-

eral Ministry for Education and Research that an invest-

ment in biodiversity databases has lasting effects. Dr.

Lampe sadly died before he could finish his work. We

are happy that the catalogue can be published now.

His effort was not in vain.
