Survey the known and potential range of the Udzungwa forest partridge Xenoperdix udzungwensis to determine the population size, density, and abundance to update the status in the IUCN Red List. Document the population structure and obtain genetic material for analysis as well as gain an idea of the food preferences of this threatened species.

Strategic Direction: 4 Establish a small grants program (all eligible sites) that focuses on Critically Endangered species and small-scale efforts to increase connectivity of biologically important habitat patches
