Blotiella coriacea

Blotiella coriacea can be found in the tropical forests of Tanzania where it is native, and it has also been found in Madagascar. There are three main types of natural forests found in Tanzania- Miombo woodlands, montane forests, and Mangroves while plantation forests are only artificial. Tanzania possesses over 30 million hectares of natural forests. The Tropical rainforests are small and usually found in isolated mountains. These rainforests are composed of high biodiversity and contain large numbers of endemic and rare taxa of both plants and animals. While most of these forests are reserves, they are still vital in providing water for the major cities and the densely populated rural areas. Humans have largely impacted the forests leaving them isolated and fragmented.
