The Kinangop Plateau covers about 770 km sq between the forested Aberdare Mountains in the east and the Rift Valley in the west. The plateau is found at around 2,500m altitude. The grasslands are one of the last places for the ever decreasing Sharpe’s Longclaw. Due to a growing human population that depends on the land for food and income the grasslands are disappearing fast, and ultimately, so is the Sharpe’s Longclaw.<\/p>\n The Longclaw depend on high-altitude tussock grasslands for feeding and nesting grounds. Their habitat is dwindling fast. The global population may now be as low as 2,000 birds according to recent research.<\/p>\n If this habitat loss is not halted and reversed, this species will disappear.<\/p>\n Sharpe’s Longclaw<\/p>\n (Macronyxsharpei)<\/p>\n Sharpe’s Longclaw<\/p>\n (Macronyxsharpei)<\/p>\n Capped Wheatear<\/p>\n (Oenanthepileata)<\/p>\n Red-capped Lark<\/p>\n (Calandrella cinerea)<\/p>\n
