The BIOFUND Virtual Library is an online archive of information on Mozambique’s biodiversity, organized along the lines suggested by the Convention on Biodiversity’s Clearing House Mechanism. The Virtual Library will strive to make available all the documents, studies, reports, articles, educational and communications materials, maps and digital files that have been produced, to serve as a repository of our collective institutional memory as a conservation community. The usefulness of the Virtual Library will improve the more we share amongst ourselves. If you have any materials that are not currently part of the Virtual Library, please click on "Add Document" and become a contributor.

Clean and Improved Cooking in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Landscape Report
World Bank Group
2014
N/A
Reliance on solid-fuel cooking in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is a large and growing problem. More than 700 million Africans (82%) use solid fuels, such as wood, charcoal, dung, crop waste, and coal, for their primary cooking needs—a number that will reach 850–900 million by the end of the decade. This high level of solid-fuel use, combined with household reliance on inefficient and unsafe traditional cookstoves, constitutes a first-order public health crisis: household air pollution (HAP) from solid-fuel cooking emissions kills nearly 600,000 Africans annually and is now recognized as the second-largest health risk factor in terms of death and disability in the region.

Charcoal supply chains from Mabalane to Maputo: who benefits?
IIED Briefing
2016
Todas as Províncias
Charcoal is the main cooking energy source for people living in Maputo city. It is also a crucial source of income for rural producers in Mabalane district, a key supplier of Maputo’s charcoal. But Mabalane’s forests — which provide the wood for charcoal — also supply rural populations with construction materials, firewood and food. Our research shows that the lack of community management in Mabalane’s charcoal trade has disadvantaged communities, widening income inequality and causing ecological depletion. To reverse these trends, we recommend that policymakers strengthen community management institutions, install sustainable management practices, review existing licensing schemes and seek affordable alternative energy sources.

Charcoal as a diversification strategy: The flexible role of charcoal production in the livelihoods of smallholders in central Mozambique
Jones, D.; Ryan, C. & Fisher, J.
2016
Sofala; Tete; Zambézia
Energy for Sustainable Development
This paper presents a case study of charcoal producers supplying a small town in central Mozambique, as a contrast to the predominant focus of previous work on charcoal supply to major urban areas. It gives an in-depth account of the situations in which people produce charcoal, linking this to the role it plays in their livelihoods. Charcoal is made for a diverse set of reasons ranging from women wishing for financial autonomy from their husbands, through to gaining supplementary income from field opening. Those making charcoal have a wide range of livelihood strategies and produce in a wide range of situations. The findings counter the idea that charcoal production is a livelihood of last resort.

N/A
The aim of this study is to tackle, in relatively detailed analysis, all actors involved in the charcoal energy market, from loggers to end-retailers. A livelihoods approach is used to describe the economic significance at each level of the charcoal chain of supply, with the view to contribute in the formulation of a national biomass strategy towards promoting sustainable development while meeting the energy needs of those people who depend on traditional biomass for their subsidence.

To accomplish this work, the data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Three methods were used, namely monitoring the firewood and charcoal at a specific check points, interviewing charcoal transporters about the tree species and literature review. Woodfuel (charcoal and firewood) data for all year (2011) was collected from the reports from Maputo Provincial Forest Services. Four different official check points to Maputo and Matola cities were identified in close collaboration with government institutions (Maputo Provincial Forest Services and National Directorate of Forestry and Wildlife). These check points are Matola-Rio, Moamba, Marracuene and Gare de Mercadorias.

Corporate Ecosystem Valuation (CEV) can be defined as a process to make better-informed business decisions by explicitly valuing both ecosystem degradation and the provided by ecosystem services. By including ecosystem values, the company’s aim is to improve corporate performance in relation to social and environmental goals and the financial bottom-line. Valuation can make decisionmaking around ecosystems more compelling and practical, thereby enhancing sustainable development strategies and outcomes.

For companies to take actions on managing their impacts and dependencies on ecosystem services and biodiversity, it is key that they are given the right tools to identify, measure and analyse them. One of IUCN Netherlands’ main missions is to support companies in this process. The main purpose of this study is to orientate companies in this tools profusion. The first step was to review the literature available on the ES assessment tools to be able to identify the key tools currently available on the market.

Biodiversity is also our natural capital, delivering ecosystem services that underpin our economy. Its deterioration and loss jeopardises the provision of these services: we lose species and habitats and the wealth and employment we derive from nature, and endanger our own wellbeing.

Payments for Ecosystem Services Literature Review A review of lessons learned, and a framework for assessing PES feasibility

N/A
WWF
This document presents a review of selected literature to date on payments for ecosystem services (PES) schemes. Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are, as the name implies, payments made to compensate and incentivise individuals or groups engaged in activities that support the provision of ecosystem services. PES is a mechanism that has gained increasing interest and recognition over the past decade or so, and is emerging as a central tenet of “contractual conservation” (Wunder, 2008)

This primer is designed to provide you with a solid understanding of what Payments for Ecosystem Service (PES) are and how PES deals work. It is intended for an audience interested in exploring the potential of PES — either as prospective PES sellers themselves or as staff of organizations that work directly with communities or landowners who may be interested in PES. The primer should be read before you set out to design a PES deal, as it provides guidance on conditions under which PES is most relevant and likely to succeed. It should also be read sequentially, as concepts defi ned in the early pages are built upon later.

Nature provides goods and services offering magnificent value and extraordinary investment opportunity. 14 goods and services provided by nature within the Puget Sound Basin provide benefits worth between $9.7 billion and $83 billion every year. This “natural capital” includes drinking water, food, wildlife, climate regulaKon, flood protecKon, recreaKon, aestheKc value and more. Valuing the asset that provides this annual flow of goods and services—that is, the natural capital of the Puget Sound Basin, as if it were a capital asset shows it would be valued between $305 billion and $2.6 trillion (at a 3% discount rate).

The annual values of the HNTS are $302,334,177 on the low estimation and $1,929,804,914 as the high estimation. Two discount rates were used in this report, 0% and 3%. With natural assets providing a suite of highly valuable ecosystem goods and services, the HNTS provides storm protection, natural drought mitigation, nutrient flows, biodiversity, mussel (piangua) habitat, aesthetic value, and many other public goods and services. Most of these highly valuable services are public services, which are nonexcludable, benefiting everyone.
