The project aim to strengthen conservation efforts for the endangered Zanzibar Reed Frog, Hyperolius puncticulatus, within Masingini Forest Reserve located in western part of Unguja Island in Zanzibar. Recognizing the species’ restricted distribution and the significant pressures on its habitat, the project was structured into two major components. The first component focused on conducting a comprehensive ecological assessment to determine the current status of H. puncticulatus populations and their habitats. Through systematic field surveys and habitat characterization, the project collected baseline data on the species’ abundance, distribution and microhabitat preferences. Particular attention was given to breeding sites, forest edges and riparian zones, which are known to support the species survival. Different variables such as canopy cover, leaf litter availability as well as water quality and climate data were recorded to understand the habitat conditions influencing species presence. The second component centered on community engagement and awareness raising. Recognizing that the long-term survival of H. puncticulatus is closely linked to human caused disturbances, the project implemented initiatives to improve understanding among local communities about the ecological importance of the species and the critical state of its habitat. Emphasis was placed on highlighting the role of riparian and forest ecosystems in supporting biodiversity, water regulation and climate resilience.
