Communities, conservation and livelihoods	Charles, Anthony	2021
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Community Conservation Research Network (CCRN) ; IUCN Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP) Description/Abstract In most places around the world, people are an integral, sometimes dominant, part of the environment. This has two implications. First, a key requirement for sustainability success lies in finding ways to meet the dual goals of conserving nature and providing for the well-being and quality of life of people. Second, while conservation and stewardship certainly require considering the problems created by human impacts, they can also draw on the considerable potential of humans to solve a range of environmental challenges. Global sustainability requires corresponding responses at a global level.

Sexual and seasonal variation in the diet and foraging behaviour of a sexually dimorphic carnivore, the honey badger (Mellivora capensis)	C. M. Begg1,2∗, K. S. Begg2, J. T. Du Toit1 and M. G. L. Mills	2002
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract The honey badger, or ratel, Mellivora capensis has not been well studied despite its extensive distribution. As part of the first detailed study, visual observations of nine habituated free-living individuals (five females, four males) were used to investigate seasonal, annual and sexual differences in diet and foraging behaviour. Theory predicts that generalist predators ‘switch’ between alternative prey species depending on which prey species are currently most abundant, and diet breadth expands in response to decreased availability of preferred food types. There were significant seasonal differences in the consumption of eight prey categories related to changes in prey availability but no seasonal differences in food intake per kg of bod Document Language English Restrictions Permitted Type of Biodiversity Other Terrestrial Biodiversity Type of Information Peer-reviewed article Issue Threats to Biodiversity Relevant Protected Area None Sexual and seasonal variation in the diet and foraging behaviour of a sexually dimorphic carnivore, the honey badger (Mellivora capensis)

We surveyed experts on 63 fenced and 121 unfenced PAs across 23 African countries to assess the advantages and drawbacks of fencing. Where fences exist, they are largely supported and widely viewed as effective at demarcating PA boundaries and mitigating human-wildlife conflicts. However, most fences were insufficiently funded, which limited their ability to contain conflict-prone species like elephants and lions. Fences were also frequently vandalised and caused numerous conflicts with local communities. We documented for the first time the distribution of and support for fencing in PAs...

Does traditional and advanced guarding reduce crop losses due to wildlife? A comparative analysis from Africa and Asia	Eva M. Grossa, Bibhuti P. Lahkar, Naresh Subedi, Vincent R. Nyirenda, Laly L. Lichtenfeld, Oliver Jakoby	2019
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Journal for Nature Conservation Description/Abstract Crop damage caused by herbivorous wildlife species on farms located within conservation landscapes, is a driver of human-wildlife conflict (HWC). Guarding of farms, whereby farmers spend the night out in the fields, in areas adjacent to protected areas is, therefore, very common in many African and Asian countries. Furthermore, guarding is often combined with other crop protection measures, but little is known about the efficacy of these measures. We examined the effect that different traditional and advanced crop protection measures (active and passive guarding strategies, barriers and combinations of measures) had on the magnitude of damaged crops. For this, we examined the cost of crop damage caused by a total of 20 wildlife species...

This is a consequence of the physical inaccessibility of the region as well as the protracted civil war, which affected the study of many areas. Mozambique is expected to have a large diversity of herpetofauna due to the variety of different habitat types available and the large size (area) of the country. The lack of scientific studies of northern Mozambique has led to widely disparate and inaccurate summaries of the herpetofaunal diversity of the country.

Para esta pesquisa foram estabelecidos quatro objectivos principais: i) Análise das medidas de adaptação e resiliência às mudanças climáticas estabelecidas no quadro legal vigente sobre reassentamentos; ii) Análise das características dos locais selecionados para a construção da aldeia de reassentamento e do tipo de infraestruturas construídas; iii) Análise do processo de restauração de meios de vida das famílias afectadas (reassentadas e hospedeiras) e medidas de resiliência adoptadas face às mudanças climáticas; e iv) Produção de recomendações que visam a melhoria dos processos em curso e futuros. Para a realização da pesquisa foi usada uma combinação de métodos quantitativos e qualitativos. Para o efeito, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica e recolhidos dados no terreno através dos diferentes serviços especializados, de medições e entrevistas. As entrevistas foram ministradas aos membros das comunidades e a técnicos do Estado, das empresas envolvidas nos projectos seleccionados, bem como das organizações da sociedade civil que trabalham em áreas relevantes para a presente pesquisa.

Estudo de Lições Aprendidas e Boas Práticas de Reabilitação do Mangal: Avaliação do programa de restauração de mangal no Estuário do Limpopo (Gaza), Tsolombane em Matutuine (Maputo), Nhangau (Sofala), Inhassunge e Macuze (Zambézia) e Mecúfi e Metuge (Cabo Delgado)	Salomão Bandeira, Célia Macamo, Rosalina Mahazule e Hugo Mabilana	2016
General Province Cabo Delgado; Gaza; Maputo; Sofala; Zambézia Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract Moçambique está entre os cinco Países com a maior área de mangal em Africa, sendo o primeiro na África Oriental. Estas florestas cobrem mais de 305.400 hectares ao longo das costas sul, centro e norte, e desempenham um papel muito importante na vida das comunidades locais. Formas de uso intensivas e não sustentáveis concorrem para a degradação do mangal no país, e entre as principais ameaças se destaca a exploração de recursos madeireiros, a expansão urbana e causas naturais. No país, estão em curso várias iniciativas de restauração de florestas de mangal, com o objectivo principal de restaurar as suas funções ecológicas e socioeconómicas, cujas comunidades locais são os primeiros beneficiários. Este estudo tem por objectivo documentar várias experiências de restauração de mangal no país, analisando de forma crítica todo o processo de restauração, e permitindo um aprendizado de lições positivas, assim como identificação de aspectos por melhorar. Também visa estabelecer as bases para o desenho de uma Estratégia e Plano de Acção Nacional para a restauração de mangal no país. Foram visitados 6 locais abrangidos pelo PASA, com o programa de restauração de mangal, a saber: no sul (na Província de Maputo, no Distrito de Matutuine, em Tsolombane; na Província de Gaza, no Distrito de Xai-Xai, Posto Administrativo de Zongoene, na Foz do rio Limpopo Povoado de Mahielane). No centro (na Província de Sofala, Distrito da Beira, em Nhangau; Província da Zambézia, Distrito de Inhassunge em Mussama e Distrito de Namacurra em Macuze). Norte (na Província de Cabo Delgado, Distrito de Mecúfi e Distrito de Metuge). No geral pode se concluir que o programa de reabilitação de mangais deixou como principal legado o aprendizado, que vai permitir que no futuro as falhas sejam corrigidas e melhores programas sejam implementados. Contudo, vale salientar que o processo de restauração do mangal deve ser contínuo, sendo que a capacidade técnica, o monitoramento/acompanhamento a sensibilização e envolvimento da comunidade, a parceria com outras entidades não-governamentais ao lado de uma planificação adequada são factores importantes para o sucesso do programa.

Estratégia de Gestão do Mangal 2020-2024	Governo de Moçambique	2020
General Province Todas as Províncias Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract A Estratégia Gestão do Mangal, também é um documento que se constitue num instrumento de política concebida para combater e reverter a situação de degradação e destruição do ecossistema de mangal no País. Pretende-se, também, que este instrumento acrescente valor aos esforços que vêm sendo desenvolvidos para impulsionar e orientar a regulação dos direitos, deveres e obrigações quanto ao uso sustentável do ecossistema de mangal em Moçambique. O objectivo desta Estratégia é de manter ou aumentar a biodiversidade, os valores e a função do ecossistema do mangal, de modo a responder às necessidades de protecção ambiental em estuários e zonas costeiras. Pretende-se também que esta estratégia contribua para minimizar os efeitos do aquecimento global através do processo de sequestro e armazenamento de carbono, absorvendo dióxido de carbono da atmosfera e contribuir de forma significativa para o alcance do ODS 14. A implementação da estratégia pode também abrir novos caminhos para o auto-emprego, como o ecoturismo, restauração e replantio, a aquacultura e a apicultura, ajudando a melhorar as condições socio-económicas das comunidades costeiras.

A DOG WITH TWO MASTERS: FRAGMENTED AND INEFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF MANGROVES IN MOZAMBIQUE	Manuel Castiano	2020
General Province Todas as Províncias Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature and WWF Moçambique Description/Abstract Mangroves in Mozambique are mostly located in coastal areas, deltas, and estuaries of main rivers, and are widespread all over the country. Due to mangroves’ recognized ecological function in protecting shorelines from floods and cyclones, concerns regarding the increase in mangrove degradradation are now high on the agenda of the government of Mozambique. It has expressed and built a constitutional, political, strategic, and legal foundation which impact on mangrove conservation, management, and restoration. Political will and joint engagement of multiple governmental agencies with a role in mangroves, as well as Civil Society Organizations, local communities, and the private sector are required to promote mangrove conservation. It has been reported that there is already ongoing joint engagement in some areas. Despite national and international commitments, Mozambique still faces key challenges to domesticate international legally binding instruments and to secure the effective implementation of fragmented and diverse legal provisions, causing difficulties in understanding and enforcing the legal framework governing mangroves in a holistic, consistent and comprehensive way. Another challenge is connected to the effectiveness of protected areas, which is linked to coastal development, the discovery of mining resources on the coast, and wetland and aquaculture development.

Mozambique Mangrove Mapping via Satellite from 1994 – 2016	Aurelie Shapiro	2018
General Province Todas as Províncias Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity WWF Moçambique Description/Abstract Mozambique has over 300,000 hectares of mangroves along its coast, which is the larg-est tract of mangrove forest in Africa, and ranks the country 13th in the word in terms of mangrove extent. WWF-Germany and WWF-Mozambique have partnered to map Mozambique’s mangroves in efforts to conserve, manage and restore them. This analysis estimates mangrove extent in Mozambique over nearly three decades using consistent methods and the newest satellite technologies available. This report presents the map-ping results by province and is the first extensive national level assessment of mangroves at the national scale using highest resolution available. This assessment uses several satellite technologies: the Landsat Thematic Mapper, En-hanced Thematic mapper and Optical Land Imager provide the long term time series for change mapping at 30m resolution. Additionally, data from the new Sentinel-2 were used. This sensor launched in 2015 by the European Space Agency, and provides data similar to Landsat 8, but with 3times higher resolution and additional spectral bands. This dataset was used to map Mozambique’s mangroves at 10m resolution for the year 2016.

Mapping Africa’s Biodiversity: More of the Same Is Just Not Good Enough	HARITH FAROOQ, JOSUÉ A.R. AZEVEDO, AMADEU SOARES, ALEXANDRE ANTONELLI1, and SOREN FAURBY	2020
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract Species distribution data are fundamental to the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes. Yet, such data are strongly affected by sampling biases, mostly related to site accessibility. The understanding of these biases is therefore crucial in systematics, biogeography, and conservation. Herewe present a novel approach for quantifying sampling effort and its impact on biodiversity knowledge, focusing on Africa. In contrast to previous studies assessing sampling completeness (percentage of species recorded in relation to predicted), we investigate whether the lack of knowledge of a site attracts scientists to visit these areas and collect samples of species...

Effective implementation of age restrictions increases selectivity of sport hunting of the African lion	Colleen M. Begg, Jennifer R. B. Miller, Keith S. Begg1	2017
General Province Niassa Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.12951 Additional Information Publishing Entity Journal of Applied Ecology Description/Abstract 1. Sport hunting of wildlife can play a role in conservation but can also drive population declines if not managed sustainably. Previous simulation modelling found that large felid species could theoretically be hunted sustainably by restricting harvests to older individuals that have likely reproduced. Several African countries currently use age-based hunting for lions although the outcomes have yet to be evaluated in a wild population. 2. Here we provide the first empirical evidence that a system of incentives sufficiently encouraged age-based hunting and reduced offtake of a wild felid, thereby reducing the potential risk of unsustainable hunting on a threatened species. We examined long-term hunting data and the lion population trend..

General Province Gaza; Niassa Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link doi: 10.3389/fpls.2017.02130 Additional Information Publishing Entity Frontiers in Plant Science Description/Abstract Miombo and Mopane are ecological and economic important woodlands from Africa, highly affected by a combination of climate change factors, and anthropogenic fires. Although most species of these ecosystems are fire tolerant, the mechanisms that lead to adaptive responses (metabolic reconfiguration) are unknown. In this context, the aim of this study was to characterize the primary metabolite composition of typical legume trees from these ecosystems, namely, Brachystegia boehmii (Miombo) and Colophospermum mopane (Mopane) subjected to different fire regimes. Fresh leaves from each species were collected in management units and landscapes across varied fire frequencies in the Niassa National Reserve (NNR) and Limpopo National Park (LNP) in...
