    This document summarizes a potential natural vegetation map of eastern Africa that was published on ResearchGate in January 2015. The map covers 8 countries in the region and was created by 8 authors from the World Agroforestry Centre and the University of Copenhagen. It is intended to be an interactive decision support tool to help select suitable indigenous tree species for restoration and forestry projects by showing the natural distribution of vegetation types and tree species in the region. The map is available in various digital formats and links tree species to other databases to support species selection. It aims to contribute to ecosystem services, food security, and access to planting materials in the region.

    The Right Tree for the Right Place
    www.vegetationmap4africa.org
    Transforming lives and landscapes with trees

    The vegetationmap4africa is an interactive vegetation map (available as web‐based, 
    Google Earth and [offline] mobile phone versions) designed as a decision support 
    tool for the selection of suitable indigenous tree species for restoration, forestry, 
    agroforestry and landscape diversification projects.  The map currently covers eight 
    African countries (Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and 
    Zambia). Understanding the distribution of natural vegetation provides a good 
    approximation of where wider planting of indigenous tree species will contribute to 
    ecosystem services, and food and nutrition security. The map also shows where 
    planting materials for a particular species could be obtained. Via the Agroforestry 
    Species Switchboard, each tree species is linked to information in 26 web‐based 
    databases, supporting the selection of the right tree species.
