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.

Good Practices for the Collection of Biodiversity Baseline Data	Gullison, R. Et al.	2015
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information This document contains references to good practices; it is not a compliance document. This report should be interpreted bearing in mind specific environmental and social policies adopted by the Multilateral Financial Institutions referred to in the report. In case of any inconsistency or conflict between this document and the environmental and social policies adopted by the Multilateral Financial Institutions as amended from time to time, such policies shall prevail. Questions of interpretation shall be addressed solely in respect of those policies. Publishing Entity Description/Abstract A biodiversity baseline study is the work done to collect and interpret information on the biodiversity values occurring at a site, their current condition, and trends before a project commences. The biodiversity baseline study plays important roles in supporting the assessment of impacts and risks of a project, applying the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy, and designing the long-term biodiversity monitoring program (if one is required). Biodiversity risks, management requirements, and information needs will vary according to the project, and therefore the biodiversity baseline study should be proportional and specific to the anticipated risk and significance of impacts from the project.

Throughout the continent, snakes are feared and misunderstood even though most are harmless. Venomous snakes bite humans only when they feel threatened, are trodden on or picked up inadvertently. Snakes are creatures that inspire awe, reverence and even worship in some areas, and they are exhibited as performing animals by traditional snake charmers.

General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity The Corporate Ecosystem Services Review Description/Abstract Ecosystems provide businesses with numerous benefits or “ecosystem services.” Forests supply timber and wood fiber, purify water, regulate climate, and yield genetic resources. River systems provide freshwater, power, and recreation. Coastal wetlands filter waste, mitigate floods, and serve as nurseries for commercial fisheries. However, human activities are rapidly degrading these and other ecosystems. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment— the largest audit ever conducted of the condition and trends in the world’s ecosystems—found that ecosystems have declined more rapidly and extensively over the past 50 years than at any other comparable time in human history.

Forgotten waters: Freshwater and marine ecosystems in Africa. Strategies for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development	Shumway, C.	1999
General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information This publication was prepared under a grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Printing and distribution were made possible through support provided to the Biodiversity Support Program (BSP) by the Global Bureau of USAID, under the terms of Cooperative Agreement number DHR-5554-A-00-8044-00, and the New England Aquarium. The Biodiversity Support Program is a consortium of World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and World Resources Institute, funded by the USAID. Publishing Entity Boston University Description/Abstract Over the last several years, the world’s biodiversity crisis, and its implications for human development, has become clear. Solutions must be found for the problems created by humans for other life, for otherwise both humans and wildlife will continue to suffer. The situation is most critical for nations that rely on natural resources for economic development, such as those in Africa. As the World Bank notes, “sub-Saharan Africa depends more on its environmental resource base for its economic and social needs than any other region in the world” (Environment Matters, 1996). African nations simply cannot afford to lose their wildlife and the ecological services they provide, including the animals under water and those associated with water.

General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link http://www.researchgate.net/publication/280096383 Additional Information Publishing Entity ResearchGate Description/Abstract Roads and traffic are typically more of a threat to the conservation of birds rather than a safety issue for motorists. Some bird species have biological features and life history traits that make them particularly vulnerable to habitat loss from roads and mortality due to wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC). Road planning that proactively considers the biological needs of birds will help avoid project delays and extra costs for mitigation, as well as achieve positive outcomes for birds. Several strategies effectively avoid or mitigate the negative effects of roads on birds.

General Province N/A Years Covered (Years subject to analysis in the document) External Link Additional Information Publishing Entity Description/Abstract In 2001 Oil was discovered in the West African marine and coastal eco system. This ecosystem includes the marine systems of six countries: Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea and Cape Verde and spans 3,500 kms of coast. Among its most striking features are the unique coastal wetlands and the up-welling of deep nutrient-rich ocean water to the surface that support one of the most diverse and economically important fishing zones in the world. The fact that many marine species pass different phases of their life cycles in the waters of the six countries underscores the need to understand and manage the eco-region as a whole.
