The Pungwe River Basin Joint Integrated Water Resources Management Strategy (IWRMS), the Pungwe Project in short, is a co-operative effort by the Governments of Zimbabwe and Mozambique to create a framework for the sustainable and equitable management, development and conservation of the water resources of the Pungwe River basin, with the objective of increasing the derived social and economic benefits for the people living in the basin. A key element in the development of this strategy by the Project lies in building capacity for its implementation and upgrading, to facilitate effective participatory management by both the authorities and stakeholders. The Pungwe River is in a shared watercourse between the two countries.

Rural development and poverty alleviation in Mozambique has been seen as a linear and uni-directional process. In this process, farmers receive support from the government and NGOs via projects aiming to alleviate poverty. Recently the WV has started a project aiming to reduce poverty by introducing red sweet pepper - a cash crop, in Morrumbala.

Environmental Flows and Restoration of the Zambezi Delta, Mozambique
The Ramsar Convention Secretariat was informed in 2008 of potential threats to Mozambique’s only Ramsar Site, the Marromeu Complex in the Zambezi Delta, from oil and gas prospecting activities. In 2009 the Government of Mozambique invited the Secretariat to activate the Ramsar Advisory Mission procedure in response. A team accordingly visited the site and undertook consultations there and at national, provincial and district level from 16-20 August 2009. This report summarises the Mission’s findings, and presents 24 recommendations for short- and long-term action, including suggestions for sources of further external support.
Vegetation, or communities of plants, form structural units – habitats – which, in many cases, determine what other organisms can live or feed in an area. Vegetation, through its species composition as well as structure, also provides an excellent integration of environmental factors in that it reflects the climatic, physiographic, edaphic and biotic features pertaining to the land where it grows (Timberlake et al. 1993). From this it can be seen that an understanding of the vegetation of an area – its composition, structure and distribution – is fundamental in assessing biodiversity.

This EBSA assesses the Zambezi river delta mangrove and adjacent brackish habitats. This is the single largest mangrove stand in the entire eastern Africa covering some 100,000 ha. The diversity is high (8 mangrove species) and trees can reach some 30 m and attain extensive diameters. Zambezi delta mangroves attain high carbon stocks turning this as an ideal place for developing C credits initiative. Changing in water hydrology associated also with the dam upstream, issues of sedimentation and erosion as associated with observed mangrove dieback are some of the main challenging issues for these exuberant habitats in the Zambezi river delta.

Action on climate change to advance sustainable development in the Zambezi Basin
Chagutah, T.

The Zambezi
Climate change is one of the most important and complex challenges facing the Zambezi River Basin, much as in the rest of the world. Projected changes in the earth's climate present more than just an environmental concern but also serious social and economic implications. While the riparian states of the Zambezi River Basin bear little responsibility for the build-up of carbon dioxide and other global warming gases in the earth's atmosphere, they stand to bear the brunt of the environmental, social and economic consequences of a warming climate. Southern Africa – in which the Zambezi Basin wholly lies – has been identified as one of the regions around the world most susceptible to the impacts of climate change.

A General Description of the Valley of the Zambezi River, from its Delta to the River Aroangwa, with its History, Agriculture, Flora, Fauna, and Ethnography

I HAVE endeavoured in the following pages to give some account of that portion of the Zambezi, and of the lands washed by its all too shallow waters, which have fallen, in the partition of Africa, beneath the sovereignty of the Portuguese Crown. It is, of course, but a part of Africa's fourth greatest waterway ; but, since the lower Zambezi is at present the doorway through which we reach the slowly awakening colonies of Nyasaland and North- Eastern Rhodesia—and even the far-away basin of the mighty Congo—it is with that portion of the river we are at present most concerned, and it will no doubt continue to claim our attention until slowly developing railway enterprise shall one day bring the remoter stretches of the great river.

The dugong (Dugong dugon) in Tanzania: A national assessment of status, distribution and threat.
Muir, C.; Sallema, A. & Abdallah, O.
2003
N/A
WCS
Globally the dugong (Dugong dugon - Müller, 1776) is listed by IUCN as vulnerable. However, in the Western Indian Ocean they are almost certainly endangered as a result of decades of active hunting for meat and oil, as well as by incidental capture in gillnets, habitat degradation and dynamite fishing. Once commonplace along Tanzania’s 900 km coastline, by the beginning of the twenty first century the animal was so rarely seen that its status was no longer known.

Social and Ecological Linkages in Marine Resource Use: A Case Study of the Primeiras e Segundas Archipelago in Mozambique
Fisher, J. Et al.
2014

WWF
Implementing successful marine protected areas (MPAs) requires an understanding of local marine ecosystems, fisheries and human communities. A rapid assessment conducted in October 2006 was used to identify resource use patterns in the Primeiras and Segundas (P&S) archipelago in Mozambique, by examining data on local marine fisheries, demographic and economic context, as well as the current resource governance regime. Findings suggest that resources users employ low-selectivity fishing gear due to a combination of factors, including institutional weakness, resource dependence by coastal communities, and economic importance of target species, thus threatening the viability of local fisheries and ecological integrity of the area.

Análise Estendida De Custo-Benefício Para Adoção De Vazão Ecológica Em Moçambique: Compartilhando O Rio Zambeze

O delta do rio Zambeze, em Moçambique, recebia recorrentes inundações anuais devido aos ciclos marcantes de chuva e estiagem de sua área de drenagem. Tal movimento caracterizou sua fauna e flora e também o estilo de vida de seus quase 0,5 milhão de habitantes. Desde 1974, entretanto, a hidrelétrica de Cahora Bassa erradicou tais cheias ao administrar o fluxo do rio para a maximização da produção de energia. Objetivando subsidiar a tomada de decisões do poder público – operador da hidrelétrica – quanto à descarga proposital (vazão ecológica), realizou-se uma análise estendida de custo-benefício (AECB) de seis propostas de adoção de vazão ecológica. A mensuração pecuniária dos benefícios para as atividades de subsistência (pesca e agricultura) das comunidades do delta e também para a pesca comercial foi comparada à perda na produção de energia elétrica.

Mozambique is uniquely situated for success as an ecotourism destination, due to its potential for charismatic wildlife, its spectacular coastline, and its location between established safari hotspots. Yet Mozambique’s conservation areas are largely underperforming. Animal populations have declined, and most parks receive fewer than 1000 tourists per year. Drawing from 35 interviews with diverse stakeholders in and around seven protected areas, this paper seeks to understand why the country’s parks have experienced divergent outcomes since the end of the civil war in 1992.

Extending over 530 km2 on both sides of the Mozambique‒Zimbabwe border, and primarily defined by its underlying geology, the Chimanimani massif is renowned for its montane vegetation and a high number of endemic taxa. A detailed vascular plant checklist from the area above 1200 m altitude was produced by Goodier and Phipps in 1961, but focussed mostly on the Zimbabwe side. Here we present a revision of that checklist with updated nomenclature and family circumscriptions, incorporating many recent additional records particularly from Mozambique. It is recognised that a fully comprehensive list for the montane area on both sides of the border would probably use a lower limit of 800 m and cover moist forests in more detail.

When illegal miners started extracting
gold in the Reserve, the Government got concerned about its environmental and
socio-economic impact. Therefore, a survey was carried out to identify the
geographical extent of the mining, the number of miners involved, and to assess its
environmental and socio-economic impact. Previous attempts to evict the miners
resulted into a reduction of their number from 10000 to 2000. The remaining miners
work in three zones but in a more dispersed way thus destroying nature in more
places.
