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.

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.

Risk Assessment for Environmental Management of the Marine Environment
Stoklosa, R.

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).

N/A
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.

The Mau Summit-Kisumu section of the B1 Road serves as an important link with other parts of Kenya, countries of the Great Lake:; Region and beyond, connecting these with the Trans-Africa region. Currently, most of the road is seriously deteriorated with some sections virtually at the p int of collapse. This has been compounded by the lack/untimely maintenance. The Northern Corridor Road Improvement Project proposes to address the issues of this section. This will be jointly funded by the Kenya Government and International Development Agency (IDA). The project will go along way in achieving and facilitating economic recovery in an effort to alleviate poverty.

Research on bycatch of long-lived, air-breathing vertebrates is at a relatively nascent stage in the Western Indian Ocean. There are reports of bycatches of dugongs, sea turtles, and dolphins (humpback and bottlenose), primarily in gillnet and trawl fisheries. In the southern-most latitudes of this region, seabird bycatch has also been documented in longline gear. Recently, local scientists have initiated efforts to assess bycatch of sea turtles and marine mammals in the region. In particular, members of the Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (WIOMSA) have initiated collaborative projects to investigate bycatch of marine mammals and sea turtles.

http://www.inweh.unu.edu/Coastal/Publications.htm
Coral reefs appear to be changing in a number of fundamental and detrimental ways. Many reef scientists, comparing coral reefs to canaries in a coal mine, argue that coral reef deterioration is an early warning of major global environmental disruptions in the coming decades. The tragedy of recent coral reef decline is that too few people actually know what coral reefs are supposed to be like, and too few of those who now study reefs witnessed what coral reefs used to be like decades ago.

Rapid forest inventory and mapping Monitoring forest cover and land use change
Vegetation-based carbon offset mechanisms require reliable baseline data and effective monitoring systems. The most basic information requirements include definitions of vegetation types, spatial distribution (mapping) and biomass estimates. However increasing convergence between carbon offsets, biodiversity offsets and the valuation of ecosystem services places a correspondingly greater emphasis on the integration of species-level biodiversity data and ecological factors in such evaluations.
