Field testing and survey evaluation of household biomass cook-stoves in rural sub-Saharan Africa
Adkins, E. Et al.
2010
N/A
Energy for Sustainable Development
This paper presents the results of two studies conducted to evaluate the performance and usability of household biomass cookstoves under field conditions in rural sub-Saharan Africa. Cooking tests and qualitative surveys compared improved, manufactured stove models based on the ‘rocket’ design with the traditional three-stone fire. All tests and interviews took place in household kitchens in two village areas in Western Uganda and Western Tanzania. The performance parameters evaluated in cooking tests were specific fuelwood consumption and cooking time. Surveying of household cooks gathered information about prevailing cooking practices, stove preference and usability, and willingness to pay for novel stove types.

A lenha e o carvão constituem a principal fonte de energia para cozinhar, aquecer e iluminar nas famílias Moçambicanas. Este padrão de utilização é característico dos países Africanos ao sul do Sahara. As tendências ao longo dos anos, não mostram sinais de que a curto prazo seja possível substituir de forma efectiva a lenha e o carvão como principais fontes de energia. Apesar de tudo, o conhecimento sobre as quantidades de lenha e carvão consumidas em Moçambique ainda é escasso, apesar de haver alguns estudos localizados, particularmente na província e cidade de Maputo e a cidade da Beira. Este estudo, surge como tentativa de trazer à luz, informação sobre o consumo dos combustíveis lenhosos em diferentes regiões de Moçambique.

Uso da antracologia como instrumento de fiscalização do carvão vegetal em Moçambique
Afonso, C.
2012
Todas as Províncias
Moçambique possui uma grande diversidade de recursos florestais. Estes recursos afiguram-se importantes no contexto econômico, social e ambiental por apresentarem potencial para a geração de emprego, fornecimento de energia, sequestro de carbono, entre outros bens e serviços. A maior parte do combustível lenhoso provém das florestas naturais e cerca de 85% da população moçambicana depende destes combustíveis para satisfazer suas necessidades energéticas domésticas. Atualmente, tem se constatado que os carvoeiros usam espécies de alto valor comercial para a produção de carvão vegetal sem a observância de técnicas de manejo sustentável.

The Zambezi River Delta Mangrove Carbon Project: A Pilot Baseline Assessment for REDD+ Reporting and Monitoring
Stringer, C. Et al.
2014
Sofala; Tete; Zambézia
Mangroves are recognized for their numerous ecosystem services and functions that are critical to environmental health and human wellbeing in the regions where they occur and beyond. Although mangroves comprise only 0.7% of the world’s tropical forests, they have been shown to contain globally-significant carbon pools, storing up to five times more carbon than typical upland tropical forests per area. As a result, there is interest in considering mangroves in national climate adaptation and mitigation strategies, yet little research related to climate change and carbon sequestration has been completed in mangroves, especially in Africa.

International Forestry Review
Over the past decade, China has become the main export destination for Mozambican timber. This market reconfiguration has come with growing criticism of ethnic Chinese actors from Mainland China and elsewhere, who have been accused of being the origin of ecologically deleterious illegal logging and trade. In this context, the aim of this article is to examine the timber concession and licensing schemes in Mozambique, the main instruments governing logging operations, and to investigate behavioural differences between Chinese and non-Chinese commercial actors with regard to these instruments.

Is Mozambican Growth Sustainable? A Comprehensive Wealth Accounting Prospect
Olliver, T. & Giraud, P.
S/D
Todas as Províncias
We estimate the wealth of Mozambique in 2000 and 2005 in order to assess the sustainability of its development path. Our methodology builds on Arrow et al. (2007). We show that Mozambican growth is driven mainly by human and physical capital accumulation, while the pressure on natural capital remains low. Moreover, changes in knowledge and institutions significantly enhance the outcome of the different capital assets while population growth has a strong downward effect on wealth per capita. In the end, we conclude that Mozambique, unlike many other sub-Saharan countries, followed a sustainable growth path in recent times.

The resource bites back Entry-points for addressing corruption in wildlife crime
Williams, A.; Parry-Jones, R. & Roe, D.
2016
N/A
Corruption has recently risen up the global wildlife conservation agenda with a series of international agreements highlighting the role of corruption in facilitating wildlife crime. Though there are notable exceptions, there is still a weak treatment in the literature of the problems of, and solutions to, wildlife crime from an anti-corruption perspective. Identifying and promoting effective interventions that get to the heart of the corruption problems associated with wildlife crime is a shared responsibility across the wildlife conservation, anti-corruption, anti-illicit trade, and anti-organized crime communities.

Mozambique is a country of abundant natural resources, counting among its assets arable land in ten different agro-ecological zones (12% only being cultivated), hydropower potential from its many rivers, forests, fisheries, gas, and other subsoil assets (such as coal and heavy sands). The country’s forestry potential is under-utilized, though its highly valuable species stocks are being depleted. The country’s biodiversity, with its many endemic species, will certainly be a key asset for the Ministry of Tourism’s ecotourism ambitions.

Africans have always had an ancestral connection to the Earth. Our indigenous people were land-based communities living in harmony with nature for generations. This spiritual attachment to the soil, the trees, the animals and the sun, has been the basis of our value system. Water, Food, Shelter and Energy are just some of the basic essential services derived from Nature which is the basis of life. In a modern day economy, where the accepted currency of value is money, global economies have seemingly been thriving and have garnered little attention outside fast tracked development, National GDPs and profit margins.

China is currently importing wood from over 80 countries around the globe to meet fibre needs for both domestic consumption and re-export. This is driven by China’s phenomenal economic growth (over 9% annual GDP growth in the past two decades), its large population base and its massive processing capacity, as well as global demand for furniture, paper and other wood products. This is equivalent to some 1 million ha of mature commercial forests outside China being cleared each year.

Moçambique é um dos poucos países da África Austral que ainda tem extensas áreas florestais, principalmente florestas de miombo, que ocupam uma metade do território, cerca de 32 milhões de hectares (ha). As florestas são fundamentais para a saúde social, económica e ambiental do país, fornecendo valiosas espécies de madeira para exportação, lenha, produtos florestais não madeireiros (PFNM), e outros serviços ambientais, como a regulação do clima, a biodiversidade e o habitat. Apesar dos benefícios a serem realizados, o desmatamento é alto, com mais de 295.000ha convertidos anualmente em outros usos da terra.
