11.07.2013

Possibly the largest multi-disciplinary montane research effort to date in southern Africa has been launched.

The Eastern Highlands Initiative (EHI) came into being earlier this year through a series of meetings with key research institutions and individuals in Zimbabwe in April 2013.

The aim of the EHI is focused research on the endemic-rich and economically important Eastern Highlands in Zimbabwe and adjacent Mozambique through a variety of scientific projects focusing on topics such as biodiversity gaps, the Eastern Highlands in Afromontane biogeography and systematics, and the historical and current impact of human activities in the Eastern Highlands.
