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.

Conservation status of the lion (Panthera leo) in Mozambique – Phase I: Preliminary survey
Chardomet, P. Et al.
2008
Cabo Delgado; Niassa; Tete
IUCN
The IUCN-SSC organised two regional workshops, one for West and Central Africa (2005) and one for Eastern and Southern Africa (2006), with the intention to gather major stakeholders and to produce regional conservation strategies for the lion. Mozambican authorities, together with local stakeholders, took part in the regional exercise for establishing the Regional Conservation Strategy for the Lion in Eastern and Southern Africa. They recognised the importance of establishing a National Action Plan for the Lion in Mozambique and realized the lack of comprehensive information for reviewing the lion profile in the country.

The Status of Dugongs in the Western Indian Ocean & Priority Conservation Actions
WWF Eastern Africa Marine
2004
N/A
WWF
Dugongs occur in shallow tropical and subtropical coastal and island waters of the Indo-Pacific. They are threatened worldwide due to loss and degradation of seagrass pastures, fishing pressure, indigenous use and hunting, and coastal pollution and are listed globally by IUCN as vulnerable to extinction. The WIO region harbours an important remnant population of the threatened dugong and in a recent UNEP/IUCN report on their global status, extinction of the dugong in the WIO region was considered inevitable without immediate and effective conservation measures.

WWF
Dugongs found in the Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique are considered to be the only viable dugong population within the entire Western Indian Ocean (Marsh et al. 2006, Dutton 1994). Cockcroft et al. (2008) reviewed recent records and indicated that few dugongs occur elsewhere on the Mozambique coast. An aerial census in May 2001 of the Bazaruto National Park and the eastern islands conducted by (Mackie/WWF 2001) found dugongs distributed throughout the northern, central and south areas of the Archipelago between Bazaruto Island and the mainland.

Historically, dugongs occurred in almost all coastal areas from southern Mozambique in the west to Australia in the east, including many of the island States in the Indian and Pacific Oceans between. However, through much of this range, dugongs have all but disappeared and where they occur, are represented by relict populations. This is especially true for Eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean and Mascerine Islands. In most areas dugongs have been extirpated and only in southern, central Mozambique, the Bazaruto Archipelago, does a relatively large number still survive.

2007-2011
The Mozambique Tourism Anchor Investment Program was a pilot investment generation program implemented by the World Bank Group’s Investment Climate Services through IFC. The program aimed to improve the investment climate in the tourism sector by facilitating strategic investments in select protected and coastal areas, as well as through focused reforms of the regulatory environment. The program responded to a direct request from the Ministry of Tourism to assist the government of Mozambique in the development and implementation of a framework to facilitate tourism investment.

2012
N/A
The year 2011 may well be remembered as a turning point in Mozambique’s economy, with the first overseas export of coal marking the birth of Mozambique as a world exporter of minerals, and paving the way for the country to secure its future fiscal sustainability through yields from natural resources. The main short-term challenge for the government is the enlargement of its fiscal space while keeping its debt levels under control, in order to accommodate the ambitious infrastructure investment plan and the roll-out of social safety nets within the inclusive growth agenda, while resisting political pressures on expenditure prioritisation.

Desta forma, a natureza e o detalhe deste perfil foram orientados para servir um propósito claro, que era caracterizar a situação de referência de cada um dos distritos litorais. O critério usado para seleccionar e colectar a informação foi o da sua relevância ambiental. Uma vez que existem já, em Moçambique, perfis distritais elaborados por outras entidades para diferentes fins, entendeu-se que não fazia sentido duplicar esse trabalho produzindo o mesmo tipo de informação geral.

In January 2010, a household survey was conducted in Govuro District (Nova Mambone and Pande localities) to understand the climate change-related problems, current and future copping strategies in local communities. The purpose of this study is to promote disaster planning by documenting climate-related natural hazards which includes floods, drought, cyclone and extreme heat. Historical records are examined to identify frequency and other characteristics of their occurrence. In some cases, distinct temporal and spatial patterns are evident. Impacts and mitigation opportunities are also discussed.

Habitat Choice of Benthic Shrimps
Berggren, M.
1994
Maputo
Field investigations on the shallow-water shrimps of the Gullmar Fjord area, Swedish west coast and various coastal localities of the Faroe Islands have been made by selective sampling among different algal habitats using SCUBA-diving. The different species of shallow-water shrimp in the algal zone are found to utilize different algal species/communities as habitat. The shrimps found among algae do not normally migrate seasonally in contrast to those living on sand, mud or Zostera. The selectivity towards a special dominating algal habitat in these shrimps is higher at the Faroes than in the Gullmar Fjord area.

Vulnerability Assessment of the Belize Coastal Zone
Neal, D.; Ariola, E. & Muschamp, W.
2008
N/A
This report was put together using information from two main sources, available literature and interviews with key stakeholders. The coastal zone is defined in the Coastal Zone Act, Chapter 329 of the Laws of Belize Revised Edition 2000, as the area extending from the mean high water mark along the coast, to the limits of the territorial sea, including all coastal waters. For the purposes of this report the coastal zone boundaries were extended to include lowland areas susceptible to flooding. The most recent IPCC report recommended that vulnerability assessments include socioeconomic and biophysical vulnerability to climate change.

The Workshop focused on the cross-sectoral nature of climate change impacts specifically on the coastal and marine environment, and actions and institutions that could help society adapt. United Nations guidance on the NAP process states that the planning should be based on nationally identified priorities, and coordinated with national development objectives, plans, policies and programs. Therefore, the workshop used a methodology that starts with sectors and their development objectives and identifies adaptation actions to support those objectives, taking into account the larger context of other anthropogenic stressors and threats.

Southern Africa and Mozambique are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The region is frequently exposed to droughts, floods, variable rainfall and heat, which are expected to worsen, and sensitivity to such exposure of the natural resource-based livelihood system is very high. The project area is remote and highly underdeveloped and the population is poor, food insecure, and not resilient to the impact of climate shocks. Due to water scarcity, not sufficient for humans and livestock except in a few communities along the Limpopo River, livelihood options are limited.
