Virtual Library

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.

Water masses and circulation in Northern Sofala BankHoguaneSd




Nampula;
Sofala;
Zambézia










Sofala Bank is the largest shelf in the Eastern Africa, it is over 500km long, wide in the south, where it attains about 200 km, and narrowing towards the North to about 15km, and it is shallow with an average depth of about 50m (Figure 1). It is highly productive shelf, with nutrients supplied by the rivers and adjoining abundant mangrove swamps. It is an important fishery area, being the shallow water shrimp the most economically valued fishery, and composed mainly by two species: Pneus indicus and Metapenaeus monoceros (Silva, 1989).

Conservation and Society


A single narrative about the Gorongosa Restoration Project (GRP) in Mozambique circulates widely in the popular media. This story characterises the project as an innovative intervention into an ecological crisis situation. The narrative hails the project’s aim to use profits from tourism to address the goals of both human development and conservation of biodiversity, and portrays the park project as widely embraced by long-term residents. This representation helps the project attract broad acclaim, donor funding, and socially conscious visitors, yet it obscures the early emergence of unified opposition to the project’s interventions among long-term residents of Gorongosa Mountain.

The monitoring system for Gorongosa will operate at two levels. Indicators that are reliably measured through day-to-day monitoring activities will be assessed by field scouts, tourism staff and other participating staff on Park drives, and by local communities. Indicators that require more technical or long-term scientific monitoring will be assssed by professional research staff and consultants at the Park, including extensive use of remote sensing. This document focuses on the latter level of scientific monitoring and in particular looks at the vegetation component.

Most fish enthusiasts will be well aware that Lake Malawi supports more fish species than any other lake in the world. This includes an estimated 700-1000 species of cichlid fish, almost all of them unique to the lake. Many may also have visited the lake on travels through Malawi. Not so many will be aware that over 200 kilometres of the shoreline is in Mozambique.

We present preliminary morphological and molecular taxonomic studies of the genera Rhamphochromis, Diplotaxodon and Pallidochromis, along with notes on their identification, distribution and ecology. We suggest that Rhamphochromis is comprised of eight to ten species: R. longiceps, R. woodi, R. macrophthalmus, R. esox, possibly R. ferox and four or five undescribed species. We suggest that R. lucius and R. brevis may be junior synonyms of R. woodi.

2008-2009








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 AttributesTimberlake, J. & Bayliss2016




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
