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.

The Chimanimani Mountains: un Updated Checklist
Wursten, B.; Timberlake, J. & Darbyshire, I.
2017
Manica
Kirkia
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.

This was to look at restricted-range and endemic species on the Mozambique side of the mountains in order to assess their distribution, the threats to them and their conservation status, and to provide appropriate conservation recommendations for the national authorities. Three field trips were carried out in different areas and in different seasons. This report describes and discusses the findings, and also provides some historical background to botany and plant collecting across the mountains.

The report outlines the main biodiversity information available and the sources. It is divided into sections on vegetation, plant species, various vertebrate groups and invertebrates. Our main knowledge is outlined, i.e. what we know and what we do not know, followed by some recommendations on the major gaps from the point of view of TFCA management that would need to be addressed or filled

The purpose of the review was to analyse in detail the available information on the broad situation of the marine ecosystems of Mozambique, and highlight the critical gaps in available data or research. The report will enable Fondation Ensemble and its partner the Oak Foundation, or any other interested stakeholder, to deepen their understanding of the broad marine ecosystem situation in Mozambique and help establish intervention priorities for practical field initiatives and/or on research within the areas of marine biodiversity conservation, and/or sustainable fishing.

Field studies were carried out in 2015 in four communities on the eastern footslopes and pediments of the Chimanimani Mountains in Sussundenga District in central Mozambique ‒ from north to south, Mahate, Mpunga, Zomba and Maronga. These communities lie inside the Buffer Zone of the Chimanimani Trans-Frontier Conservation Area (TFCA). The study objectives were to identify or justify areas for community conservation initiatives, identify plant species of particular concern and any threats to them, and to see if any species could support local economic enterprise on a sustainable basis.

Illegal gold mining in the Chimanimani National Reserve: environmental and socio-economic assessment
Ndunguru, E.; Dondeyne, S. & Mulaboa, J.
2006
Manica
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.

Após distúrbios antropogénicos ou naturais, a regeneração de florestas tropicais segue uma progressão de estágios por meio dos quais os estágios florestais gradualmente aumentam a riqueza de espécies e a complexidade estrutural e funcional. Esta pesquisa foi levada a cabo no Distrito de Sussundenga, na Reserva Florestal de Moribane, com intuito de analisar os processos sucessionais que aí ocorrem. Para tal, foi feito levantamento das espécies que ocorrem numa área agrícola praticada há 5 anos, uma floresta nativa em processo sucessional por 17 anos e numa floresta madura ou estado clímax.

A área onde está situado o PNQ é rica em fauna desde o passado (Smithers et al., 1976; Tello, 1986). Interacções entre humanos e animais selvagens não são novos, e a prova disso são os registos do comércio de marfim e de peles de animais que floresceu nos anos 1800; mas a frequência e a interpretação negativa destas interacções é muito recente. Historicamente, eventos severos de conflitos entre humanos e animais selvagens opuseram leões, leopardos e serpentes. Hoje, os eventos de conflitos envolvendo elefantes e humanos são dos de maior frequência e preocupação.

O turismo representa, provavelmente, o maior recurso económico a ser desenvolvimento no PNQ (e na região), sendo assim uma das principais fontes potenciais de receitas seja para a gestão desta AC, bem como para o desenvolvimento da população local esta última, uma das finalidades da criação do parque. Uma das grandes vantagens que o PNQ tem é representada pela possibilidade de conjugar três grandes produtos turísticos: a) o mar e as praias; b) a vida selvagem no continente; c) os locais de grande valor histórico e cultural, de forma que este parque representa uma potencialidade única em Moçambique.

This document has been written for the management purpose of investigating various sustainable financing methods for the QNP and evaluating their potential impact over the period 2009-2019. The Business Plan begins with an overview of the park, followed by a review of the first Business Plan of the QNP from 2003 and a detailed look at the actual financial situation from both the cost and revenue side. The general conclusion reached is that due to lack of good data at the time, the 2003 Business Plan was somewhat optimistic in its revenue projections while understating actual operational costs.

The Eastern African region coral reefs and mangroves
The Eastern African region is fringed w ith coral reefs and mangroves. The Indian Ocean hosts an abundant amount of fish w ith at least 3,000 varieties of shore fish. The mangrove sw amps provide oysters, crabs and mullet for the commercial market. How ever recent studies undertaken by UNEP in 1981 found that damage to coral reefs was widespread. The region is a major oil tanker route and suffers from oil pollution throughout the coastal zone. In addition land-based sources of pollution from fertilizers, industry, untreated sewage and litter and deforestation are also common resulting in problems such as eutrophication and excess sedimentation.

Ornithological surveys were carried out on Namuli Mountain (peak 2419 m) from 14-27 November 2007. Most forest on Namuli is found above 1600 or 1700 m, to c. 1900 m (with scrubby forest to 2000 m or a little higher), with the largest block of Manho Forest (at least 1000 ha) spreading over the south-western slopes of the Muretha Plateau.
Mid-altitude forest on the south-eastern slopes has been greatly reduced in recent decades by fires and clearance for agriculture. Other habitats include montane grassland (rather wet and peaty), small areas of montane shrubland, rocky outcrops and large granitic domes.
