The Ambatovy Project Business and Biodiversity Offsets Programme Pilot Project Case Study
The Ambatovy Project is a large-tonnage nickel project in Madagascar with an annual design capacity of 60,000 tonnes of nickel and 5,600 tonnes of cobalt. The Project is comprised of two companies Ambatovy Minerals SA and Dynatec Madagascar SA each owned in the same proportion by Sherritt Incorporated, Sumitomo Incorporated, Kores and SNC Lavalin. The Project was permitted in December 2006. Construction began in early 2007 and production is due to begin by the end of 2010, reaching full capacity by 2013. The Project’s expected LIFECYCLE is 27 years, although operation beyond this is likely.

Survival of the Sumatran Tiger in a Commercial Landscape
Maddox, T. Et al.
2003
N/A
A key strategy for ensuring the survival of the Sumatran tiger is to work on their survival outside the protected area system. Non-protected areas represent a far larger area of land, do not exclude people and therefore reduce the potential for land use conflict, and can provide connectivity between the core protected areas. Potential for coexistence between tigers and commercial land use has been shown in an oil palm plantation, PT Asiatic Persada (AP), in Sumatra.

Surveying carnivores at large spatial scales: a comparison of four broad-applied methods
Barea-Azcón, J. Et al.
2007
Biodivers Conserv
N/A
Reliable methods to estimate species richness are very important to managers and conservationists because they provide key data to make the right decisions in conservation programmes. In the case of carnivore mammals, traditional methods, such as direct count censuses, are not useful since these animals are usually scarce, elusive and nocturnal. Difficulties in carnivore sampling are compounded when monitoring programmes are developed at large spatial scales, where high economic costs and field efforts are necessary to achieve reliable richness or abundance estimates. These problems have highlighted the need to find more effective carnivore survey methods, especially in regions with high rates of landscape change.

Statutory nature conservation agency protocol for minimising the risk of injury to marine mammals from piling noise
JNCC
2010
N/A
This document, which has been produced by Natural England, the Countryside Council for Wales and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, outlines a protocol for the mitigation of potential underwater noise impacts arising from pile driving during offshore wind farm construction. This protocol may also be useful to other industries in the marine environment which use pile driving. The agencies recommend that all operations that include pile driving should consider producing an Environmental Management Plan (EMP), or an equivalent document that meets the requirements of the relevant regulator.

Strategic Plan for the Sustainable Use of Marine Resources in the Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary
IUCN & Eco-Africa Environmental Consultants
2002
Inhambane
1. The Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary (VCWS) is located along the coast of Mozambique in the Province of Inhambane and the District of Vilanculos. The VCWS includes the San Sebastian Peninsula (here after referred to as “the Peninsula”) and its surrounding waters and thus forms the southernmost portion of the spectacular Bazaruto Archipelago (Map 1). Biologically the area is highly diverse in terms of species and habitats and contains appealing and largely intact scenery. Its waters contain the last viable population of Dugong in Africa. From a local and global point of view the natural heritage represented on the Peninsula and in the surrounding waters is worth saving.

Study on Land Clearing in Relation to Large Scale Plantations and Forest Certification
The government of Mozambique has since the late 1990s been seeking to attract foreign and national investors to establish commercial forestry plantations in order to create economic activity in remote areas of the country. The establishment of these plantations will require the replacement of the existing vegetation cover with exotic fast growing species. The investors in these plantations have stated that they wish to become FSC certified in order to demonstrate that they are following established social and environmental best practices.

Spatial patterns of road kills: a case study in southern Portugal
Ascensão, F. & Mira, A.

Universidade de Évora
N/A
One major human agent of habitat fragmentation is the ever increasing and expanding road network world wide (Forman et al. 2002), which can be harmful to various faunal groups such as invertebrates (e.g.: Haskell 2001), amphibians (e.g.: Carr and Fahrig 2001), reptiles (e.g.: Gibbs and Shriver 2002), birds (e.g.: Kuitunen et al. 1998) or mammals (e.g.: Philcox et al. 1999). Roads and traffic can act as barriers which may difficult animal movements and reduce population connectivity. By diminishing the gene flow and disrupting sink-source population dynamics, roads may increase inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity (Ferreras 2001).

SUMMARY of Workshop: Tidal Energy and the Marine Environment
Ainsworth, D. Et al.
2007
To provide an opportunity for knowledge dialogue concerning the development of tidal energy and the understanding of the interaction of devices with the marine environment and to identify the current knowledge gaps and the challenges in filling those gaps. This interaction took place between engineers, developers, modellers, regulators and ecologists. To this end the consensus was that the meeting was very successful, with a greater awareness between disciplines and that more of this type of cross discipline interaction needs to occur.
N/A
At the spatial and temporal scales at which tidal energy will be extracted there is a general lack of knowledge of both the possible physical and biological effects due to the placement of devices. Over the last few years, the collective group within the SuperGen project has gone some way to producing mathematical models, tank models and supporting work on full scale devices like the SNAIL which can be deployed as collectors of both biological and physical information in the areas of high speed tidal currents. The detailed hydrological models are revealing that the scale or dimensions at which we view the physical process can give very different answers but that physical effects can be felt at least 7 km from the location of deployment.

N/A
Biogeography is defined as the study of biological life in a spatial and temporal context and is concerned with the analysis and explanation of patterns of distribution (Cox and Moore 1998). An important application of biogeographic studies is the generation of knowledge necessary to achieve adequate and representative conservation of all elements of biodiversity. Conservation of biodiversity pattern requires that a viable proportion of any habitat or species in each biogeographically distinct area is protected, either within a protected area or by management measures that mitigate threats.

1985-1999
Zoological Studies 44(2): 260-270
N/A
The spatial and temporal distribution patterns of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the Indian Ocean were studied based on catch data of Taiwanese longline fishery during the period 1985~1999. We used a geographic information system (GIS) to compile a fishery database to statistically explore the catch per unit effort (CPUE), mean weight distribution, and the relationship between distribution and environmental factors. Results indicated that bigeye tuna were mainly distributed in tropical waters between 10?N and 15?S, although some scattered instances of high catches appeared outside this range.

Seed plants of southern tropical Africa: families and genera
After the publication of Seed plants of southern Africa: families and genera (Leistner 2000) the Executive of SABONET expressed the wish to have the scope of this work extended to cover all 10 countries in which the organisation is active. In response to that wish the present project was undertaken. As indicated on the title page, it is a supplement to Leistner (2000) and it will generally be necessary to consult the two works together. During the compilation it was apparent how many plant groups are still poorly known. The present work should therefore be considered no more than a small tentative step towards that grand goal—a Flora africana.

Seed plants of southern tropical Africa: families and genera
A proper understanding of inshore marine ecosystems cannot be obtained without a thorough knowledge of marine vegetation. This paper summarises our knowledge of species diversity patterns of marine macroalgae in Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting gaps. In Tropical East Africa the seaweed floras of Somalia and Mozambique are not well known. In Tropical West Africa, only a small number of countries are well-collected, although recent advances, including web-based systems, are ensuring that the information which is available can be more easily accessed.

In 2004 a report1 prepared by the Marine Energy Group (MEG) identified that up to 10% of Scotland’s electricity generation (about 1,300 megawatts, MW) could come from wave and tidal stream power by 2020. As such, this would contribute significantly to the Scottish Executive’s target of 40% of electricity generated in Scotland to be from renewable sources by 2020

N/A
A key aspect of the River Health Programme (RHP) is information generation and dissemination. The reporting of the results of river health assessments is thus critical to the success of the programme. The Institute for Natural Resources (INR) has been tasked with developing and standardizing the reporting formats for RHP and biomonitoring data. During the workshop held to develop the reporting formats it became clear that the existing data interpretation tools (including tables) for interpreting SASS (South African Scoring System) data were inadequate.

Road crossing structures for amphibians and reptiles: Informing design through behavioral analysis
Woltza, H.; Gibbsb, J. & Duceyc, P.
2008
Elsevier Ltd
N/A
Road traffic causes significant amphibian and reptile mortality, which could be mitigated through the installation of road crossing structures that facilitate safe passage, but only if reptiles and amphibians are willing to use them. Through a series of behavioral choice experiments with frogs and turtles, we examined how aperture diameter, substrate type, length, and light permeability influenced individuals’ preferences for specific attributes of crossing structures, and how individuals responded to various heights of barrier fences.

N/A
Planned emissions and unplanned incidents in the marine environment have the potential to result in adverse environmental effects if a discharge of hazardous material or release of energy comes into contact with sensitive receptors. Environmental risk management is the process of systematically identifying credible environmental hazards, analysing the likelihood of occurrence and severity of the potential consequences, and managing the resulting level of risk. The South-east Regional Marine Plan is primarily concerned with the hazards of anthropogenic activities in the marine environment (Chapters 1–6).

The unprecedented increase in the human use of natural resources over the last century has adversely affected ecosystems, leading to their fragmentation and loss of biological diversity. Protected areas that remain as isolated units, surrounded by a radically altered habitat, almost always face serious viability problems over the long term. The importance of strengthening ecological coherence and resilience as necessary conditions for both biodiversity conservation and sustainable development has been echoed in conservation and development fora for some time.

Restoring habitat permeability to roaded landscapes with isometrically-scaled wildlife crossings
Bissonette, J. & Adair, W.
2008
Elsevier Ltd.
N/A
Globally, human activities impact from one-third to one-half of the earth’s land surface; a major component of development involves the construction of roads. In the US and Europe, road networks fragment normal animalmovement patterns, reduce landscape permeability, and increase wildlife-vehicle collisions, often with serious wildlife population and human health consequences. Critically, the placement of wildlife crossing structures to restore landscape connectivity and reduce the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions has been a hit-ormiss proposition with little ecological underpinning, however recent important developments in allometric scaling laws can be used to guide their placement.
