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.

Status and distribution of large herbivores in the Marromeu Complex of the Zambezi Delta, Mozambique

The Marromeu Complex (11,270 km²) covers the southern half of the Zambezi Delta and the adjacent Cheringoma escarpment, and includes the Marromeu Buffalo Reserve (Reserva Especial de Marromeu) and two forest reserves (Reserva Floresta de Nhampacué and R.F. de Inhamitanga), four hunting concessions (Coutada Oficial no. 10, 11, 12, and 14), large commercial agricultural lands (notably the Sena Estates, the largest sugar plantation in Mozambique), and community lands. In November 2003, the Government of Mozambique ratified the Ramsar Convention and designated the Marromeu Complex as the country’s first and only Wetland of International Importance because of its vast size and immense value for biodiversity, ecosystem services.

Elaboration of a Conservation Management Plan for the MT MABU Region: Biophysical Attributes
Timberlake, J. & Bayliss
2016
Zambézia
Much international attention was given to the discovery of the forest and associated
biodiversity of Mt Mabu in Zambézia Province of north-central Mozambique in late 2008 and 2009 (Timberlake et al. 2012, Bayliss et al. 2014), although the actual "discovery" of the
mountain by scientists was in 2005 (Spottiswoode et al. 2008, Timberlake et al. 2012).
Following this international attention many calls have been made for its conservation (e.g.
Bayliss et al. 2014), not least in that it was not, and is still not, under any form of formal
protection.

Several management strategies and actions have been identified to respond to the previous discussed issues. Primary aims of the GRG managers are the preservation of the biodiversity and the development of the GRG. These scopes need to be achieved with the active participation of local communities, for both their development and to minimize conflicts between humans and wildlife, and in strict collaboration among the various management performers.

The present management plan is not a static document and will be changed from time to time to reflect bioresource use trends and new resource information acquired through both monitoring and scientific researches, and possible changes in local attitudes and perceptions during its implementation. Because of the planning involved inter-disciplinary scientific studies and open and interactive participatory meetings, the review process will also requires a similar transparent method. In particular, the day-by-day management experience and constant relationships with local communities would provide even new information for reviewing the management plan.

Buffer zones are an important tool for conservation of properties inscribed on the World Heritage List. All along the history of implementation of the World Heritage Convention, the protection of the “surroundings” of the inscribed properties was considered an essential component of the conservation strategy, for cultural and natural sites alike. The World Heritage Committee valued the concept and included it into the Operational Guidelines as one of the elements to be considered in the preparation of a nomination proposal

International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases For Plant Sciences
The needs of different organisations vary considerably, but it seems that most botanical databases record information related principally to politically defined countries. The same can be said for storage of specimens in herbaria, and for citation of specimens in taxonomic revisions. However, political countries vary greatly in size, from less than one square kilometre (Vatican City) to over 22 million square kilometres covering one sixth of the world’s surface area (U.S.S.R.). Furthermore, many of them include physically remote parts, particularly islands, and nearly all traditional continental boundaries are traversed by political countries.

In many ways, 2013 was a very challenging year for WIOMSA with key constitutional activities such as the election of the members of the WIOMSA Board of Trustees, the Fifth WIOMSA General Assembly and the amendment of the Constitution all taking place in the same year. In addition to these there was also the organization of the Eighth WIOMSA Scientific Symposium in Maputo and the fact that 2013 was the first full year of implementation of the new MASMA Programme “Coping with Global Change, Consolidating the Gains”. Yet the year ended on a far more optimistic note than perhaps many had expected.

Wildlife use of existing culverts and bridges in North Central Pennsylvania

Center for Transportation and the Environment
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PENNDOT) District 3-0 initiated a study in North Central Pennsylvania evaluating existing bridges and culverts for use as underpasses by wildlife. This project was a two-phase study to investigate animal passage through existing drainage box culverts, arch culverts and bridges on existing highway systems. The objective of this study was to (1) determine whether wildlife are using existing structures as passageways based on wildlife sign and remote camera monitoring and (2) determine underpass dimensions, interior characteristics, location, topography, and adjacent habitat features that contribute to and enhance usage of underpass corridors by wildlife.

Wildlife use of existing culverts and bridges in North Central Pennsylvania
Undiscovered cancer treatments from marine organisms could be worth between US$563 billion (€428.5 billion) and US $5.69 trillion (€4.33 trillion), according to a recent study. The researchers estimate that there may be as many as 594,232 novel compounds waiting to be discovered in unstudied marine species, and that these could lead to between 55 and 214 new anti-cancer drugs. The study only accounted for anti-cancer drug revenues. In reality, these chemicals from the sea can have numerous other biomedical applications including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory uses.

East African Wildlife Properties Ltd has been charged with the responsibility of managing, the recently approved, Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary (VCWS) in Mozambique’s Inhambane Province. As custodians of the sanctuary they are in the process of establishing a biodiversity and conservation management plan that would encompass the marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. In this endeavour they seek to apply the principle of “conservation through utilisation” by means of the sustainable and profitable commercial use of the Sanctuary’s natural resources to the benefit of both the Company and of the local people residing in the Sanctuary.

The conservation and management of many marine mammal species is largely dependent on monitoring population status by conducting aerial surveys from manned aircraft. Recent developments in the technical capacity and civilian use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have led to some investigations into the potential use of these systems for aerial surveys of marine mammals.

Phase III supports UK government obligations to OIC/OSPAR for continued collection of data relating to actual environmental impacts from cuttings piles over time. Phase III is focussing on the long-term impacts from 5 selected cuttings piles on the UKCS.
