The forests of the region are continuing to decline as it is converted to subsistence agriculture and is harvested as timber and firewood for local use.	It has been recorded from tropical coastal forest which are being lost as they are converted to agriculture and forests are cut for timber and for firewood for local use.	It is threatened by the loss of coastal forests, largely through conversion of land to subsistence agriculture and harvesting of timber and firewood for local use.	Very little is known about the population of Kerivoula africana as it has only been captured four times. Its global population is suspected to be declining due to extensive and continued deforestation.	Decreasing	Kerivoula africana is endemic to eastern Tanzania and is likely restricted to coastal forests and lowland Eastern Arc Mountains, where it has only been recorded from four sites (one regional location), including the “land opposite Zanzibar Island”, Morogoro, the Genda Genda coastal forest, and the Tong'omba coastal forest (Matschie 1895, Swynnerton and Hayman 1951, Cockle et al . 1998). Its area of occupancy (AOO) is estimated to be 16 km² based on these four known sites.		Terrestrial	This species has been recorded from Morogoro (presumably within the Morogoro State Forest Reserve) and Genda Genda (possibly in a Forest Reserve). There is a need to prevent further loss of coastal forest habitat. Further studies are needed into the distribution of this species to locate additional populations. Research is also needed into population size and trends, species’ ecology and threats.	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
