The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Targeted vertebrate surveys enhance the faunal importance and improve explanatory models within the Eastern Arc Mountains of Kenya and Tanzania (2014, background): “The area has been long recognized for its outstanding biological importance, especially for forest vertebrates (Burgess et al., 1998, 2007; Newmark, 2002).”
Factors explaining alien plant invasion success in a tropical ecosystem differ at each stage of invasion (2009, background): “Today, only one-third of the species (214) remain (partly as a result of compartments having been cleared for human settlement) and a number of these are now known to have spread into the surrounding tropical rain forest of Amani Nature Reserve, a site of high conservation importance (Newmark 2002).”
Major gaps in the distribution of protected areas for threatened and narrow range Afrotropical plants (2005, unknown): “Other African countries with biologically important and relatively well-managed Forest Reserves are Ghana (Hawthorne and Abu-Juam 1995; Hawthorne 2001), Uganda (Howard 1991), Kenya (Wass 1995), Zimbabwe (Müller 1999) and Sierra Leone (e.g., Harcourt et al. 1992).”
