The park is at an elevation of {{convert|2600|m}} between the peaks of the Kipengere and Poroto mountains and covers an area of {{convert|412.9|km2}},[2] lying in Mbeya Region and Njombe Region. The park is administered by Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) and is the first national park in tropical Africa to be established primarily to protect its flora.[3] Locals refer to the Kitulo Plateau as "Bustani ya Mungu" ("The Garden of God"), while botanists have referred to it as the "Serengeti of Flowers".[2] Protection of the Kitulo Plateau's unique flora was first proposed by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), in response to the growing international trade in orchid tubers and increased hunting and logging activities in the surrounding forests.[4] In 2002, President Benjamin Mkapa announced the establishment of the park. The park was formally gazetted in 2005,[5] becoming Tanzania's fourteenth national park. TANAPA has stated that the park could be expanded in the future to include the neighbouring Mount Rungwe forest.[6] In 2005, field scientists from the WCS discovered a new species of primate on and around Mount Rungwe and in the Livingstone Forest area of the park.[7] Initially known as the Highland Mangabey, later changed to its Tanzanian name of Kipunji, it is one of the 25 most endangered primates in the world.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Tanzania National parks Corporate Information |url=http://www.tanzaniaparks.com/corporate_information.html |website=Tanzania Parks |publisher=TANAPA |accessdate=22 December 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151220102029/http://www.tanzaniaparks.com/corporate_information.html |archivedate=20 December 2015 |df= }} 2. ^1 Kitulo National Park, Official Website, Tanzania National Parks, accessed 20 November 2014 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120920092946/http://tanzaniaparks.com/kitulo.html |date=20 September 2012 }} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/mar2002/2002-03-21-01.html | title=Tanzania's New National Park Protects Edible Orchids | publisher=Environment News Service | date=21 March 2002}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.mg.co.za/article/2003-03-06-tasty-orchids-are-selling-like-hotcakes-in-tanzania | title=Tasty orchids are selling like hotcakes in Tanzania | publisher=Mail and Guardian Online | date=6 March 2003}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thegef.org/gef/sites/thegef.org/files/documents/document/Council%20document_10.pdf |title=Strengthening the Protected Area Network in Southern Tanzania: Improving the Effectiveness of National Parks in Addressing Threats to Biodiversity |publisher=Global Environment Facility |date=24 December 2010 |page=21 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928024352/http://www.thegef.org/gef/sites/thegef.org/files/documents/document/Council%20document_10.pdf |archivedate=28 September 2013 |df= }} 6. ^Corporate Information, Official Website, Tanzania National Parks, accessed 20 November 2014 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151220102029/http://www.tanzaniaparks.com/corporate_information.html |date=20 December 2015 }} 7. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/05/050527105010.htm | title=New Primate Discovered In Mountain Forests Of Tanzania | publisher=sciencedaily.com | date=29 May 2005}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.primate-sg.org/kipunji07.htm |title=25 Most Endangered Primates: The Kipunji |publisher=Primate Specialist Group |accessdate=2011-03-11 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727185008/http://www.primate-sg.org/kipunji07.htm |archivedate=2011-07-27 |df= }} External links
