摘要：Afromontane forests are one of the most threatened habitats in Africa. In Angola, some of the best -kno wn remnants of this habitat are located on the slopes of its highest mo untain, Mount Moco. Here, the last 85 ha o f forests are disappearing because of the impacts o f a single human community (Kanjonde). The conservation of this habitat requires a comprehensive understanding of human resource uses in this area. With the objective of guiding conservation planning, surveys on the socio -eco nomic characteristics of this population and their use of natural resources were conducted. Three activities were identified to have major impacts on Mount Moco: hunting, wood collection for fuel and construction and intentional burns. The last two were the most devastating activities for the forests. Some methods are proposed in order to minimize the impact produced by Kajonde community on Mount Moco
