This study clearly indicates that whilst current forestry practices in natural production forests in Mozambique can be highly profitable, they are completely unsustainable in the long-run. The resource is being depleted with the prized, high value species being over-harvested. The analysis carried out as part of this study, however, shows that whilst there is no ‘quick fix’ solution, it is possible to reverse the current downward spiral. The recommendations presented are a combi-nation of measures referring to policy, legislation, market development and particularly to im-proved silviculture and forest operations. The current licensing system needs changing to en-courage investment in more efficient harvesting and added value processing.

Evaluating the impacts of plantations and associated forestry operations in Africa—methods and indicators
Ingram, V. Et al.
2016
N/A
International Forestry Review
This study explores how the impact of large scale plantations and their associated industrial operations can be evaluated. It takes a value chain approach, looking at impacts on suppliers, customers and stakeholders such as communities, local and national government and investors. Whilst there is renewed interest from investors, governments and enterprises in the potential of planted forestry operations in Africa, doubts have been expressed by communities, and environmental and socially orientated NGOs about their impacts. This paper seeks to provide a framework which can be used to examine the impacts of modern plantations in Africa, given that the context can be very different from plantations in temperate regions.

In 2013 I set out on foot to survey a 50-km long leatherback beach in Sierra Leone with my colleague Edward Aruna and other project members of RAP-SL (Reptile and Amphibian Program-Sierra Leone). We started our walk around 4 pm, slept briefly on the beach from midnight to 5 am and still had about 20 km to go in the mid-day sun, when we met an old lady who was very curious about my presence on the beach. On hearing what I was doing, her comment was, “This woman must have money at home and she is coming to suffer here?!” I could not explain to this old woman that I had cheerfully “come to suffer here,” and that there are many others who voluntarily spend their lives “suffering” on behalf of sea turtles in Africa.

A comparison of alternative methods for estimating population density of the fiddler crab Uca annulipes at Saco Mangrove, Inhaca Island (Mozambique)
Macia, A.; Quincaderte, I. & Paula, J.
2001
Maputo (cidade)
Visual counts of surface-active crabs both by binocular and burrow counting methods have been used in many studies to estimate population density. However, their reliability has not yet been assessed comparatively. Three methods for estimating the abundance of fiddler crabs Uca annulipes in a mangrove forest (Inhaca Island, Mozambique) were compared from three different sub-areas: two sub-areas inundated only during spring tides and one sub-area inundated in both spring and neap tides. Burrow, binocular and direct (excavation) counting methods were performed by plotting ten 0.25 m2 quadrats in each sub-area over the four moon phases.

Magic & Mixed Feelings in Turtle Paradise
Silva, I.

The words island paradise conjure a certain image in the mind, likely a place where one would go to experience what Dr. Wallace J. Nichols calls Blue Mind—“A mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peace, unity, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction with life in the moment.” And for readers of SWOT Report, this paradise likely has sea turtles, too, and palpable “turtle power.” Earth rests balanced on the back of a turtle, after all, according to many indigenous cultures for which turtles are part of their spiritual family, laden with traditional significance and magic as well as practical value. Turtles have always been currency: meat, shells, eggs, decorations, even aphrodisiacs.

Litter fall and decomposition of mangrove species Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata in Maputo Bay, Mozambique
Fernando, M. & Bandeira, S.
2009
Maputo (cidade)
Litter fall and decomposition of mangrove leaves were compared for different seasons, species (Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata) and sites in southern Mozambique. Mangrove leaf litter fall and decomposition was estimated using small mesh collecting-baskets and litter bags respectively in 2006 and 2007 at two sites of Maputo Bay: an urban dwarf mangrove at Costa do Sol (Maputo City) and a rural well-developed mangrove at Saco (Inhaca Island). A. marina at Saco produced more litter (dry season 10.6 g m-2 and wet season 14.2 g m-2) than R. mucronata (dry season 4.6 g m-2 and wet season 14.1 g m-2), and leaves contributed more to total litter fall in the dry season compared with the wet season (September/October) for both species.

From the window of our house in the Dyfi Valley, Wales, I can look out at Tarren Hendre, one of the southernmost mountains of Snowdonia National Park. Visitors from outside Europe are often surprised to hear we have a view of a national park; the hills are grazed by sheep and the slopes opposite dotted with conifer plantations, mainly Sitka spruce that originates in Alaska. A road runs along the estuary towards the old port of Aberdyfi, also in the national park. Elsewhere there are other villages, working slate quarries, reservoirs and even a (now defunct) nuclear power station within the borders.

A produção actual de carvão é um dos factores que causam o desmatamento, e em Moçambique não existe ainda a cultura de plantio de árvores para fins energéticos. Por falta de políticas regulamentadas a cadeia de suprimento do carvão vegetal torna-se ineficiente e de risco necessitando urgentemente de intervenções que possam garantir a sustentabilidade da cadeia de valor de carvão vegetal. Perante este cenário, o presente estudo teve como objectivo analisar os aspectos institucionais e socio-económicos ligados a produção, comercialização e consumo de carvão vegetal, e identificar as barreiras e oportunidade para o melhoramento da cadeia de valor do carvão.

African woodlands form a major part of the tropical grassy biome and support the livelihoods of millions of rural and urban people. Charcoal production in particular is a major economic activity, but its impact on other ecosystem services is little studied. To address this, our study collected biophysical and social datasets, which were combined in ecological production functions, to assess ecosystem service provision and its change under different charcoal production scenarios in Gaza Province, southern Mozambique

Exploring the Socio-Economic Role of Charcoal and the Potential for Sustainable Production in the Chicale Regulado, Mozambique

Wood fuels play a significant role in the energy requirements of many developing countries. This is especially the case in Sub-Saharan Africa, where dependence is increasing due to growing urban populations, and limited accessibility to alternative fuels. In this region, charcoal is the predominant fuel accounting for over half of the energy requirements (WEC, 2004). However, there are significant social and environmental impacts associated with the consumption of charcoal including: forest degradation, loss of biodiversity and environmental services, as well as health issues. There is growing concern that current levels of resource use will jeopardise the livelihoods of communities dependent upon forests.

The proposed biomass energy strategy is designed to reverse this process by developing the multiple and complementary solutions to ensure a sustainable biomass supply well into the near future. This will allow Mozambicans to continue using biomass for as long as they like, or switch to using other forms of energy if and when they like. Not acting now is a real and realistic scenario, which necessarily means that problems with the supply of biomass will start, sooner or later – and indeed has started in some areas already.
